Abstract: Is the cam deformity of the proximal femur the consequence of ephiphyseolysis capitis femoris? Is the same pathological mechanism at the origin of both? We report the clinical case of a young boy, with a slipped femoral epiphysis on the left side and who developed a Cam deformity on the contralateral right healthy hip which has undergone prophylactic screw fixation.
