Slipped capital femoral epiphysis associated with hyperparathyroidism

Abstract: A case of slipped capital femoral epiphyses is reported which occurred in association with primary hyperparathyroidism. Only two similar cases have been found in the English literature. The patient was a man, 16 years of age, who presented with bilateral slipped epiphyses. Investigation showed that he had primary hyperparathyroidism due to a parathyroid adenoma. At a single operation, the epiphyses were pinned in situ, and the adenoma removed. The result was satisfactory.

“…From our case and the literature reviewed below. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] (Table 2), we found that almost all the cases were reported in later adolescence with an average age of 13.5 years and there was no difference in incidence among males and females.…”

“…Parathyroid adenoma is the predominant cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. When considering intervention, Kinoshita et al recommended surgical excision of the parathyroid adenoma prior to orthopaedic intervention since a low-grade slip may resolve with correction of the metabolic disturbance 23 . However, subsequent authors have provided a treatment algorithm for treatment priority in patients with SCFE based on the severity of hypercalcemia: severe hypercalcemia, defined as total serum calcium of >14 mg/dL (3.5 mmol/L), requires urgent parathyroidectomy, whereas mild or moderate serum calcium levels allow for a staged or combined treatment approach 24 .…”

“…Possible sequelae of SCFE include avascular necrosis, chondrolysis, leg length discrepancy (LLD), and early degenerative joint disease [2,3]. Obesity, endocrine, and systemic disorders are known to be associated with an increased incidence of SCFE [4][5][6][7]. When combined with increased body weight and retroversion of the femoral head, the loads may exceed the ultimate yield point, causing a shift in position of the epiphysis in relation to the metaphysis of the femoral head.…”
