F Pelillo et al. Hip Int. 2009 Jan-Mar.

Abstract

Slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SUFE) is not an uncommon hip disease in adolescence. Usually, diagnosis of SUFE is delayed, has high risk of sequela and poor long-term results. This paper reviews the literature with a focus on epidemiology, aetiology, diagnosis, treatment and results regarding SUFE.
