Early Development of Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis in a Patient with Infantile Tibia Vara

Abstract

Herein, we present a unique case of an early development slipped capital femoral epiphysis with bilateral infantile tibia vara in a girl of 7 years 5 months of age. There are only few such case reports previously published in the literature. We make a brief review of these pathological conditions involving the physis and compare them to our case.
