Correlation Between Epiphyseal Release of Sliding Femur and Femoral Acetabular Collision

Abstract

Slipped capital femoral epiphilosolysis is a pathology whose incidence is increasing, therefore the sequelae of this pathology is also expected to increase. Its usual presentation is CAM-type femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and osteoarthritis. The severity of the sequelae is of high impact, as is established in the case described in which the patient has advanced coxarthrosis in both hips. Better diagnosis and management of the pathology is required to avoid the need for arthroplasty at an early age.
