Biomechanical considerations in slipped capital femoral epiphysis and insights into prophylactic fixation

PURPOSE: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a deformity of the proximal femur secondary to widened and unstable physis. In stabilising the slip, gold standard treatments stop growth and involve premature physeal closure, which prevents the remodelling of the acquired deformity and creates a...
