slipped capital femoral epiphyses/asthenia

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and Blount's disease are reported to have a common etiology, but there is only one report describing two cases in which adolescent Blount's disease coexisted with SCFE. In this article, we describe a case of SCFE following contralateral infantile Blount's

The aim of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Imhäuser osteotomy combined with osteochondroplasty in the treatment of moderate-severe stable slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) on short-term basis. Nineteen patients (20 hips) with moderate-severe stable SCFE were surgically

A more detailed understanding of the anatomy of the medial femoral circumflex artery enabled the development of the modern technique for surgical hip dislocation. Although the surgical hip dislocation is best known as an open method for treating femoroacetabular impingement, it allows the surgeon to

There are three types of familial multiple endocrine neoplasia, but type 2b, which is characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, and ganglioneuromatosis, is the only one in which patients also have skeletal anomalies. These musculoskeletal abnormalities include marfanoid

BACKGROUND Complex proximal femoral deformities, including an elevated greater trochanter, short femoral neck, and aspherical head-neck junction, often result in pain and impaired hip function resulting from intra-/extraarticular impingement. Relative femoral neck lengthening may address these
