Abstract

A rare case of anterior slip of the capital femoral epiphysis demonstrates that the mechanism of the posterior, inferior slip of the capital femoral epiphysis is a combination of weight bearing in the frontal plane and muscle pull in the horizontal plane. Sudden violent motions cause some of the unusual positions of acute slip.
