(Kelsey JL, Keggi KJ and Soutwhick WO., 1970). The slippery femoral epiphysis is classified as stable or unstable depending on the stability of the physis. It is a sliding movement back and down of the proximal epiphysis of the femur relative to the metaphysis (growth plate of the femoral head) causing an apparent deformity of the varus.
