A member asked:
Can i have a recurrent slipped epiphysis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I assuming you were treated surgically successfully, the epiphysis should have fused and therefore can't slip. There is about a 10% risk of a slipped epiphysis (scfe) in the opposite hip in someone who has had a scfe in one hip.
