Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) is a condition that occurs in adolescents when the ball at the top of the femur slips out of place at the hip joint. This happens due to weakness in the growth plate, which can lead to pain and limited mobility. SCFE is more common in boys and typically affects those who are overweight or going through a growth spurt. Symptoms of SCFE include hip or knee pain, a limp, and difficulty walking. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent further complications, such as avascular necrosis or permanent joint damage. Treatment often involves surgery to stabilize the femoral head.
