Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) often results in functional impairment and
premature osteoarthritis despite surgical treatment. Treatment decisions are commonly
based on the clinical history and radiographic appearance. This study assesses the
pretreatment features of SCFE and correlates them to the clinical history to (1) define
the underlying pathological mechanisms; (2) correlate the morphological hip abnormalities
with the clinical classifications; (3) identify specific magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) features that could carry prognostic implications for treatment approach and
outcome.
