INTRODUCTION Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is the most common hip problem in the adolescent age group. It can involve both hips, presenting itself bilaterally at first presentation or sequentially. The overall incidence of bilateral disease is variable, but the risk of occurrence is higher when there is underlying endocrinopathy, renal disease and obesity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Amongst th...

Bone morphology in the mid-diaphysis of metacarpus cattle and effect puberty age has been well described. However, there is limited information on how not attaining affects bone epiphysis metacarpus. The comprised third fourth metacarpal bones fused together to create a medial lateral epiphysis. When cow stance phase greater pressure claw; however, this difference loading Therefore, aim experim...

A study of 78 children (110 hips) was undertaken in an attempt to assess the risk of avascular necrosis (AVN) after slipped capital femoral epiphysis based on the radiological appearances of the hip at the time of presentation. Physeal separation, which was defined as the amount of separation of the anterior lip of the epiphysis from the metaphysis on the frog lateral view, was assessed. Of the...

Although much has been published on the causes of slipped upper femoral epiphysis and the results of treatment, little attention has been given to the mechanism of the slip. This study presents the results of the analysis of 13 adolescent femora, and the attempts to reproduce the radiological appearances of a typical slip. The mean age of the skeletons was 13 years (11 to 15). It was found that...

A 13-year-old boy sustained an avulsion fracture of the left greater trochanter eight months after surgical stabilisation of a slipped capital femoral epiphysis on the same side. In this specific case, avulsion of the greater trochanter after slipping of the capital femoral epiphysis may have been facilitated by weakening of the trochanteric physis.

BACKGROUND The high loads on adolescent athletes' musculoskeletal system are known to cause morphological and degenerative changes in bone, intervertebral discs and joints. It has been suggested that the cam deformity of the proximal femoral head originates from a subclinical slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) as a result of non-physiological loading. The perichondrial fibrocartilaginous ...

Three cases of a rare complication ofSalter Type II fracture-separations of the distal tibial epiphysis are described. Interposition of the anterior tibial neurovascular bundle between the displaced epiphysis and the lower tibia prevented reduction and, in two patients, the blood supply to the foot was compromised. Open reduction and internal fixation resulted in a satisfactory outcome in each ...

Conventional treatment of mild slipped capital femoral epiphysis consists of fixation in situ with wires or screws. Recent contributions to the literature suggest that even a mild slip may lead to early damage of the acetabular labrum and adjacent cartilage by abutment of a prominent femoral metaphysis. It has been suggested that the appropriate treatment in mild slipped capital femoral epiphys...

The thymus and pineal gland (epiphysis) are endocrine glands with pivotal role in the maintenance of normal physiological processes. Their hormonal activity has been subject many studies, but on most occasions, each considered separately. Surveys that identify link between these two glands, as well connection their hormones, appeared only recently. growing body data about morphology functions e...
