Hip and Stifle Surgery Question 1 - Test Your Knowledge!

Question

Can you describe the changes in the radiographs below?

What is your diagnosis?

What are the treatment options?

Answer

Changes:-

Displacement of the proximal femoral metaphysis. Resorption and sclerosis of the femoral neck.

Diagnosis:-

Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis

Management:-

These are not traumatic fractures and are believed to be a physeal dysplasia, so attempts at reducing them and stabilising them are not successful.

Salvage surgery, either femoral head and neck ostectomy or total hip replacement, is required.
