“…I n this report, we present the case of a 5-year-old girl, with a history of CD40 ligand deficiency treated by chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with bilateral SCFE. SCFE is rare at the age of 5 years; however, it is reported in some articles 4,[11][12][13][14] . Based on an article by Burrow et al, her low height was a characteristic of atypical SCFE and bilateral involvement was likely 15 .…”

Case: A 1-year-old girl was treated with chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation because of CD40 ligand deficiency. Four years later, she presented with pain in her right leg, diagnosed as atypical acute slipped capital femoral epiphysis, without a clear cause, besides chemotherapy possibly. She was treated with fixation of the epiphysis with a cannulated screw. Two years later, the same diagnosis was made for the left hip and the same surgery was applied. After the 2-year follow-up, clinical outcomes were good. Conclusion: Chemotherapy may be a risk factor for atypical slipped capital femoral epiphysis, even without the combination with radiotherapy.

“…It is the most common hip disorder among adolescents [1]. However, SCFE can affect children less than 10 years old [2]. SCFE is classified depending on stability (stable or unstable) [3] and is associated with obesity and endocrine disorders, such as growth hormone deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, and panhypopituitarism [4].…”

Slipped capital femoral epiphyses (SCFE) is considered to be a very common disorder among adolescent age group. Multiple risk factors have been reported such as obesity, endocrine disorders, vitamin D deficiency, and panhypopituitarism. The diagnosis of SCFE is important especially in its early stages as this would prevent complications and delay in surgical intervention. The diagnosis is mainly done by radiological imaging and clinical evaluation. However, clinical evaluation is often overlooked. Herein, we present a case of a seven-year-old with SCFE that was diagnosed late due to negative radiological imaging and received late surgical intervention. Therefore, it is recommended that orthopedic surgeons use their clinical sense and examination skills to diagnose SCFE promptly, in order to maintain a short follow-up window to prevent any delay in surgical management and to observe for any progression, even if the radiological findings are normal.

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis in patients younger than 10 years is rare and is often associated with some identifiable metabolic or endocrinologic abnormality. We present a case of a 5-year-old girl with an acute, unstable, severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis associated with congenital coxa vara and its surgical management. This association has not been described in previous literature. Surgical treatment is proposed and described.
