Biomechanics of Superior Femoral Epiphysis in Adolescents

More about the book

Focusing on the biomechanical factors contributing to upper femoral epiphysiolysis, this study analyzes cases from the Tunis Children's Hospital over seven years. It identifies obesity as a significant factor, affecting 58% of cases, particularly in those with an adiposo-genital morphotype. The research evaluates clinical outcomes through the PMA score and assesses stability post-surgery via residual tilt angle measurements. The findings emphasize the importance of understanding biomechanical factors during screw placement to ensure stable osteosynthesis.
