Slipped
Slipped is a term often used in the medical field to refer to a variety of conditions, most commonly Slipped disc and Slipped capital femoral epiphysis.
Slipped Disc[edit | edit source]
A Slipped disc or herniated disc is a condition that occurs when the soft inner part of the disc protrudes through the outer ring. This can happen as a result of strain, aging, or injury. Symptoms can vary depending on the location of the herniation and whether the disc is pressing on a nerve. They may include pain, numbness, or weakness in the area of the body where the nerve travels.
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis[edit | edit source]
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a medical condition that affects the hip joint in adolescents. It occurs when the ball at the head of the femur slips off the neck of the bone in a backwards direction. This is due to weakness of the growth plate. Most cases of SCFE are in children between the ages of 11 and 16.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for a slipped disc can range from conservative methods such as physical therapy and medication, to more invasive procedures like surgery. Treatment for SCFE usually involves surgery to prevent further slippage.
