Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE)
This disorder, which affects children between 10-15 years old, occurs when the head of the femur slips off the femoral neck. This misaligns the femur with the socket. In most cases, SCFE is a gradual process that occurs while the bones are still growing, but it can also occur suddenly. SCFE may develop in one or both hips.
All of our offices will be closed in observance of Memorial Day.
