SLIPPING OF THE UPPER FEMORAL EPIPHYSIS

A Pathological Study

PIERRE LACROIX M.D.1 and JEAN VERBRUGGE M.D.1

1 Department of Anatomy, University of Louvain; Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Ghent

The pathology of the slipping of the upper femoral epiphysis has been studied on whole sections of the diseased area. Histological evidence goes to show that the basic pathological change associated with the deformity takes place in the epiphyseal cartilage, which, instead of producing endochondral bone, is transformed into fibrous tissue. All the lesions observed in the neck and in the head are secondary.
