Acetabular morphology has always been an area of interest in patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Acetabular retroversion in SCFE is proposed as a pre-disposing factor and also can predispose the hip to pincer impingement. But there is controversial data in literature regarding the acetabular morphology. All available data are from the West and we present the first study on acetabular morphology in Indian children with SCFE.
