I'm Kyle Rice, awful test taker turned physical therapists and standardized test coach for over 5,000 physical therapists worldwide.

It wasn't that long ago that I struggle with anxiety, lack of confidence, and the fear of failing the NPTE.

Fast forward through the challenges, the 13 standardized test failures, and many lessons learn. And you'll see the life I

have today, a life filled with love, financial freedom, and a dream job that allows me to change

lives every single day. I created the NPTE Clinical Files podcast to give you simple,

actionable strategies, along with a step-by-step walkthrough of NPTE-based questions.

All of this so that you can dominate your exam like I did and achieve your dream.

So if you're a driven PT student who's looking to pass the NPTE and start creating a life

you love, you're in the right place.

Enjoy the show.

So for this week's clinical file, we have Max, and Max is an 11-year-old child who presents with intense groin and anterior thigh pain

after falling from a tree. The therapist suspects that the child has slipped capital femoral epiphas

which of the following risk factors is most likely to cause the suspected pathology. So we have

A, femoral retroversion and obesity, B, hyperthyroidism and proximal muscle weakness. C. C. Cuxvalga. And D is low body mass

index or low BMI. Cool. Let's go up to the top of this one. We're talking about slip capital

for moral epiphosis. My question to you is, have you

ever seen this concept come up before practice exams and all that? Yeah, you've seen it, right?

Usually we're differentially diagnosing this with what other condition? Come on. Lake Cat Perthys

disease, right? Cool. So you need to know a bit about this concept for sure to be confident and ready

to go on the NPTE. Let's break this question down. At the top of it, it says max an 11 year old

child presents with intense groin pain and anterior thigh pain after falling from a tree.

So I already know that this child obviously has a skiffy.
