Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) Coxa Vara Adolescentium (CVA)
Journal Title: Journal of Orthopedics & Bone Disorders - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Slipped femoral capital epiphysis is considered to be one of the most destructive conditions of hip joint during adolescence. The epiphysolysis of the femoral head was first defined in 1572 by the French surgeon Abrois Paré (1510 - 1590). The first authentic traumatic epiphysesolysis of the femoral head was described by Brousseau in 1867. It was in a 15-year-old boy with multiple injuries after trauma with heavy carriage. Death occurred in a few hours, and was discovered by post-mortem examination. Complete separation of epiphysis of the femur head was found. The first mention of a non-traumatic form of epiphysolysis occurred in a fourteen years old boy later. In 1881, Fiorani reported fifteen cases of distorted hip joint with impaired adduction in children. He described the deformity as a bend of the proximal part of the femur, which was based on rickets. With a high probability, some individuals were coxa vara adolescentium. The first complete description of the disease was given by E Müller (1888) in his work “About the bending of the femoral neck in the growth age” Coxa vara adolescentium (CVA), epiphysesolysis of femural head or slipped femoral capital epiphysis represents a serious hip disease in the pubescent age at which the femoral proximal growth plate loses its strength and influence mechanical forces, caused mainly by excessive body weight, the non-traumatic epiphysesolysis will occur. Symptoms like pain and twisting are initially vague, but they tend to escalate over time. The incidence of this disease is 0.1 per one million, affect male more than female 2:1,4 in the rapid growth period 10-16 years old. Childhood obesity is the common cause of Slipped femoral capital epiphysis, then endocrine disorders and Down syndrome. Slipped femoral capital epiphysis has three grades first up to 33 degrees of slippage, second grade from 34-50% of slippage and the third degree more than 50%. Slipped femoral capital epiphysis, represents a serious disease of the puberty in the pubescent age at which the femoral proximal growth plate loses its strength and influence mechanical forces, caused mainly by excessive body weight, will occur non-traumatic epiphysesolysis. Symptoms like pain and limping are initially vague, but they tend to escalate over time.
