CHFT Case of the Week 12 - SUFE

 

CHFT Case of the Week 12 – SUFE

 

This weeks case is an interesting presentation of a non weight bearing child who had a slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SUFE), with a rather dramatic x ray. Limping (or non weight bearing) children are common to ED and we discuss differentials and investigations in this cohort, and how to identify the rare SUFE!
