Abstract

Clinical history from the onset to one year and two months after operation of slipped capital femoral epiphysis in an adult male patient aged 27 years was reported.The slipping of the femoral head occurred suddenly one week after the onset of pain in the left hip which was operated on by multiple pinning. While the clinical course was favourable, degenerative changes developed in the femoral head approximately one year after operation.Hypothyroidism was revealed by the hemanalysis and Tc scan, and the biopsy of the coexistent arthropathy of the elbow joint demonstrated the villous hypertrophy of synovial membrane and the degenerative changes in articular cartilage.
