    Abstract

    SCFE is a common hip adolescent disorder caused by biomechanical and biochemical factors, which requires early diagnosis and treatment. Case Report: A 14 year old boy was brought to the hospital with right hip pain and an antero-posterior and frog-leg lateral radiograph revealed a right Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis. Percutaneous fixation with a cannulated screw was performed and the patient was pain free after 1 week. Follow up visits were uneventful and the patient returned to pre-SCFE activities. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and prompt intervention are essential for successful management of SCFE with percutaneous fixation using cannulated screws.
