The oblique plane deformity in slipped capital femoral epiphysis

BACKGROUND Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is commonly treated with in situ pinning. However, a severe slip may not be suitable for in situ pinning because the required screw trajectory is such that it risks perforating the posterior cortex and damaging the remaining blood supply to the capital epiphysis. In such cases, an anteriorly placed screw may also cause impingement. It is also ...

[Slipped capital femoral epiphysis].

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SFCE) is a disorder of the hip, characterized by a displacement of the capital femoral epiphysis from the metaphysic through the femoral growth plate. The epiphysis slips posteriorly and inferiorly. SCFE occurs during puberty and metabolic and epidemiologic risk factors, such as obesity are frequently found. Most chronic slips are diagnosed late. Sagittal hip ...

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis.

SCFE is the most common hip abnormality in adolescence. The subsequent development and severity of degenerative changes is related to the degree of slippage and to delay in diagnosis. Awareness of this diagnostic possibility in the population at greatest risk and knowledge of subtle and early radiographic findings will allow prompt diagnosis and treatment of SCFE. Follow-up radiographic examina...

Remodeling of Cam Deformity in Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis

INTRODUCTION There has been growing interest in the concept of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) as an etiological factor in the development of osteoarthritis of the hip after slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Remodeling of the femoral head has been reported from several authors, however, a little is known about the remodeling from the point of cam deformity. Therefore, we con...
