ABSTRACT
We reviewed the cases of all patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis at the University Hospital of the West Indies. Forty-seven hips in thirty-six Black patients were evaluated, and in 40 per cent of those hip chondrolysis developed. The appearance of roentgenographic changes of chondrolysis was predictable. There was a high percentage occuring within one year of diagnosis of slipped epihysis and within six months of closure of the proximal femoral growth plate. The persistent absence of motion in all planes following slipping of the capital femoral epiphysis was a constant finding in patients with chondolysis. This loss of motion can be diagnostic of impending chondrolysis and is usually present before the appearance of the roentgenographic changes. The microscopic changes suggest that the primary lesion is not necrosis of cartilage but a replacement of articular cartilage by pannus formation (Summary)
