Obez adolesan erkek çocuğunda femur başı epifizi kaymasında gecikmiş tanı

Obesity prevalence among children is increasing rapidly along with an increase in associated complications such as degenerative joint diseases. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is one of these complications. In this report, we describe an adolescent obese boy who had left hip pain and was diagnosed with slipped capital femoral epiphysis according to hip X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging findings. In conclusion, clinicians should be aware of slipped capital femoral epiphysis in obese adolescents suffering from hip pain.
