Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) Expert Witnesses

Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) is a hip condition primarily affecting adolescents. In SCFE, the head of the femur (the rounded part that fits into the hip socket) slips backward and downward off the femoral neck through the growth plate (physis), which is not fully matured or is weakened in young individuals. This slipping can cause hip pain, a noticeable limp, and restricted hip movement.
