Between 1980 to 1989 all the records of patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) from the University Children Hospital in San Juan, Puerto Rico were reviewed. This was done in an effort to assess the outcome of patients affected with SCFE admitted to University Pediatric Hospital. Comparison with other populations already studied showed no significant differences regarding patients age, weight, side affected, bilaterality and response to current standard surgical methods of treatment.
