Slipped capital femoral epiphysis caused by neurogenic heterotopic ossification

J Pediatr Orthop B. 2013 Nov;22(6):553-6. doi: 10.1097/BPB.0b013e3283654d50.

Abstract

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is rare in nonambulatory patients, as mechanical factors play important roles in the development of the disease. We report a case of SCFE, which occurred in a 12-year-old girl with a nonambulatory status after cerebral infarction. SCFE occurred after she received passive range of motion exercise and extracorporeal shock wave treatment for neurogenic heterotopic ossification around the hip joint. The patient was successfully managed by a stepwise approach, with radiological and clinical improvements.
