Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery 3 (2) : 85-89. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is an uncommon condition seen in adolescents before the onset of the growth spurt. When it occurs in a different age-group, some endocrinopathy should be suspected. We describe 2 cases occurring in adulthood where there is associated hypopituitarism. In addition, the endocrine influence on the physeal plate is discussed. | Source Title: | Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/133809 | ISSN: | 10225536 |
