Eighty patients who had unilateral coxa plana and who had been treated conservatively were followed to a mean age of sixteen and one-quarter years, and their cases were reviewed for radiographic evidence of a disturbance of the femoral capital growth plate. This physeal involvement was inferred by the presence of one or more of five findings: premature physeal closure, overgrowth of the greater trochanter, change in physeal shape, lateral protrusion of the capital nucleus, and medial bowing of the femoral neck. Premature physeal closure, which was more common in the girls than in the boys, occurred in 25 per cent of the affected femoral heads, and 90 per cent of the patients showed some interference with normal physeal growth in the affected femoral head. A direct correlation was found between the severity of the physeal involvement and the ultimate deformity of the femoral head. The possible causes of interference with physeal growth and damage are discussed.
