Chondromyxoid fibroma is a relatively rare benign but potentially aggressive tumor of cartilagenous origin. It usually occurs in the metaphysis of the long bones and the most common site of involvement is near the growth plate of the proximal tibia. We experienced a case of chondromyxoid fibroma, which occurred in the juxtaphyseal portion of the femoral neck. It was treated by curettage and allogenic bone graft initially. Twenty-seven months after this first operation, the capital femoral epiphysis slipped, which was treated by screw fixation. Here, report a case of SCFE after curettage and bone graft for juxtaphyseal chondromyxoid fibroma at the femoral neck and include a brief review of literature.

Slipped femoral capital epiphysis is a disease of adolescence, a period of altered skeletal development brought about by physiologic hormonal changes. Its actual cause is unknown. The clinical correlation between slipped femoral capital epiphysis and endocrine disease is well known. The slipped capital femoral epiphysis is displaced posterolateral side and 8 cases have been reported in Korea. The author reports here a typical case of bilateral slipped femoral epiphysis and unilateral three cases during the years 1984 throught 1987. The results were as follows :l. Among the 12 patients, male were 8 and female were four, left were 7 and right was one in unilateral cases. 2. All our cases treated by closed reduction and in situ pinning showed good results without complications. 3. As a result, we recommended gentle closed reduction and in situ pinning as the most favorable method of treatment for the slipped capital femoral epiphysis.

The authors have experienced 8 hips of slipped capital femoral epiphysis out of 6 adolescents which are known to be very rare in this country since September, 1983 at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Korea University Guro Hospital. They were 3 males and 3 females at age range between 10 to 14 years. Laterality of involvement was 3 in left, 1 in right and 2 in bilateral. Staging was acute in 1 case, acute on chronic in 3 cases and chronic in 4 cases. And the degree of slipping was mild in 4 cases, moderate in 4 cases. Among the 6 patients, 2 were associated with primary hyperparathyroidism and 1 with hypothyroidism. Treatments offered were closed reduction and pin fixation for 5 hips and conservative with control of underlying disease for 2 hips. One hip which was chronic was treated with Southwick osteotomy. The prognoses of the cases were generally good except one which showed slowness in regaining of motion after Southwick osteotomy.

The goals of treatment of the slipped capital femoral eiphysis(SCFE) are to stabilize the slipped epiphysis, prevent further slipping and induce early closure of the epiphyseal plate. Mutiple pinning was used for the treatment but in recent years, percutaneous in-situ fixation technique with 1 or 2 cannulated screws is preferred due to the advantages of low rate of complication such as pin penetration. We report the results of experimental study and the functional results after percutaneous pinning. The purpose of the experimental study was the investigation for changes of the screw length and the site of screw entry point according to the degree of slipping by bony model. The entry point of the screw was changed toward anterior and proximal portion of femoral neck and the length of inserting screw was changed to be shorter according to the degree of slip. We have treated 10 patients(13 hips) with slipped capital femoral epiphysis(SCFE) at our department since Jan. 1989. Among them, 6 patients(7 hips) could be followed for more than 2 years. There were 5 boys and 1 girl. One case was affected on the both hip. The average age at operation was 11.8 year old. All cases were obese. Degree of slipping was showed 6 cases in mild and 1 case in moderate. The slipping of acute onset was 3 cases, acute-on chronic 3 cases and chronic 1 case. In radiographic results, 6 cases were showing in Grade 0, 1 case was in Grade II. In functional results, 3 cases were excellent, 3 cases in good and 1 case in poor. One poor functional result was a case complicated by chondrolysis.

The slipped capital femoral epiphysis is characterized by a growth disturbance of the capital physi. resulting in weakening of this structure and a subsequent displacement of the femoral head on the fe moral neck. It is a rare entity in Korea and only six cases have been reported so far1-5). One of ou cases was a bilateral mild acute slips in 13 yearold boy which were treated by Hagie pinning. Th other case, a 17 year-old boy, who suffered from a moderate acute on chronic slip in his left hip an showed a typical Pistol grip deformity. He was treated by gentle closed rcduction and Knowles pi fixation with good result.

In Korea, slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a rare disease. In which the capital femoral epiphysis migrate posteriorly and inferiorly against the neck portion. Sometimes it should be differentiated from other conditions that separate the femoral capital epiphysis. We have experienced a rare case of separation of capital femoral epiphysis due to an osteosarcoma in the proximal femoral metaphysis in the 15 years of old girl.

Though femoral neck fractures in adults are usually treated by fixation with multiple screws, subtrochanteric fracture at the insertion site is an uncommon complication, and in children, there has been a few reports about this complication after treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis. We report a subtrochanteric fracture at the insertion site of cannulated screws used in femoral neck fracture of a 9-years old boy.
