Abstract
Patients receiving growth hormone or thyroid hormone are likely to develop a slipped capital femoral epiphysis during the period of spurt in growth. While pin fixation of these hips has been the popular method of treatment, it is possible to treat Grade I slips successfully by nonoperative methods provided that protection from weight-bearing is maintained until fusion of the epiphysis is complete.Entities:
