[Epiphysiolysis of the femoral capital].
In sixty-four cases of slipped femoral capital epiphysis presenting in adolescence, both sexes are equally represented. The disease usually affects the right hip, but in 20-40% both hips are involved. In several cases dystrophia adiposo-genitalis also occurs. In the etiology, biomechanical factors play a significant role. Clinical investigations are not sufficient. X-ray studies and measurements are always required. In radiological interpretations attention must be paid to each stage of a disease. Scintigraphy and angiography are useful sometimes.
