Where this comes from

Abstract

Patients sustained a slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) might have symptoms beyond their stabilization surgery in the childhood. 35 patients with a SCFE were treated in our clinic and available for a clinical follow-up. The results were compared in dependence of the presence of dysplasia, acetabular retroversion or a FAI type CAM. A FAI type CAM led to significant inferior results (p < 0.05), especially in combination with a retroversion. The clinical outcome seemed to be influenced by the presence of a FAI type CAM or a combination with a retroversion, which might aggravate the femoro-acetabular conflict. III, retrospective.
