Slipped capital femoral epiphysis in a patient with infantile tibia vara.
This paper is a case report of an obese black female with infantile tibia vara and slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Two cases of tibia vara and slipped capital femoral epiphysis in obese black male patients have previously been reported. The infrequent occurrence of this association of abnormalities precludes defining a common etiology of their pathogenesis. Abnormal pressures are implicated in the pathogenesis of both diseases.
