Abstract
The radiographs of this patient, an 11-year-old female with progressively worsening right knee pain, were significant for a right slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). The patient was referred to the orthopaedic surgeon on-call and underwent surgical fixation of her SCFE on the day of diagnosis.
