A Novel Classification System for Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis Based on the Radiographic Relationship of the Epiphyseal Tubercle and the Metaphyseal Socket

Background:. Recent studies have suggested that the epiphyseal tubercle serves as a fulcrum for rotation in slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). However, radiographic evidence of the rotational mechanism is limited. In this study, we describe a novel radiographic staging system for SCFE based o...
