Post-mortem description of slipped capital femoral epiphysis

DR Cooperman, LM Charles, M Pathria, B Latimer, and GH Thompson

Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio.

We found, in a museum collection of skeletons, nine adult hips with untreated slipped capital femoral epiphyses. All the specimens were from men, five black and two white. Their mean age at death was 44 years. Seven of the femora were retroverted beyond neutral and five had true varus deformities. Osteoarthritis was detected in eight of the hips and the most severe degeneration was seen in the most deformed hips. Radiography revealed that cysts which appeared to occupy the femoral head in fact lay in the metaphyseal bone of the femoral neck.
