Abstract
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a condition likely to be encountered by all practising orthopaedic surgeons. A sound knowledge of the risk factors, presentation, investigation and management is essential to prevent the potentially significant consequences of missing the diagnosis. We present an overview of the condition, along with a review of the relevant literature to date.
