Different anatomic parameters were measured on radiographs of the healthy hip of 47
patients with unilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Data were compared with …

One hundred patients treated for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) were reviewed to
evaluate the incidence of bilateral slipping of the epiphysis at an average follow-up time of …

Purpose Prophylactic pinning of the uninvolved side after unilateral slipped capital femoral
epiphysis (SCFE) is controversial. The posterior sloping angle (PSA) has previously been …

Purpose Contralateral hip involvement in slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is
common. Femoral head− neck asphericity, as measured by an elevated alpha angle, has …

Background: The posterior sloping angle (PSA) has been shown to be an objective and
reproducible predictor of the risk of patients developing contralateral slipped capital femoral …

The management of the contralateral hip after unilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis
(SCFE) is controversial. The aims of this study were to assess the interobserver and …

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) analysis based on computed tomography was performed
to study the 3D geometry of the proximal femur in cases of slipped capital femoral epiphysis …

We measured the physeal angle (slope) of the proximal femoral physis on the standard
anteroposterior (AP) radiographs. Controls consisted of 307 hips in children aged 1-18 …

To determine if acetabular orientation is abnormal in patients with slipped capital femoral
epiphysis (SCFE), we measured acetabular version in 60 patients with stable and unstable …

Background: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is an important cause of hip pain and
disability in pediatric patients. SCFE occurs bilaterally in 12% to 80% of cases, and the risk …
