Abstract

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.
