Abstract

An active 14-year-old adolescent boy with left hip pain of 3 weeks in duration was referred for physical therapy consultation by his pediatrician, with a diagnosis of left quadriceps strain. Based on the findings during examination, the physical therapist immediately contacted the pediatrician to request radiographs, which confirmed a diagnosis of slipped capital femoral epiphysis. <i>J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2019;49(5):356. doi:10.2519/jospt.2019.8772</i>.
