Trying not to panic!

I've just received word back from a patient's mother re a teenage girl who I saw in October 2005 and gave orthoses to. Her presenting pain was tib post bilaterally and she was hypermobile and over-pronating (she was referred from a Consultant Orthopod).
10 days after wearing the Orthoses, she developed right hip pain and presented to the GP, who said that the orthoses were the cause and that she should stop wearing them.
He subsequently left her for 2 months and then sent her for x-ray and she has apparently slipped her femoral epiphysis, which now needs pinning.
GP is still adamant that the Orthoses are to blame and the war drums are sounding!
Has anyone had experience of growth plate fracture subsequent to orthoses wear?
Thanks!
