With a stable SCFE, a person feels stiffness or pain in the knee or groin area. A stable SCFE usually causes the person to limp and walk with the foot turned outward. The pain and the limp typically tend to come and go, worsening with activity and getting better with rest.
Is SCFE a disability?
SCFE occurs through the unfused growth plate of the proximal femur where the femoral head slips posteriorly on the femoral neck. Serious consequences of the problem, such as gait disturbance, post-traumatic arthritis, chondrolysis and osteonecrosis of the femoral head can occur, leading to lifelong disability.
What are the symptoms of SCFE?
- Problems walking.
- Limping.
- Mild pain in the hips, groin or around the knees.
- Severe pain that makes children stop putting weight on the leg that hurts.
- Stiffness in the hip.
- Less movement than usual in the hip.
