Abstract

Chondrolysis of the hip following slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is reviewed and 3 cases are presented. The roentgenographic findings and early symptoms may serve to warn the radiologist and clinician of the onset of chondrolysis. Chondrolysis without SCFE is rare. Unfortunately the etiology is not well understood, and often the clinical course cannot be altered.
