A comparison study of radiographic and computerized tomographic angles in slipped capital femoral epiphysis Conflicts of interest The authors declare no conflicts of interest.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To compare proximal femur radiologic angles in patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis and to analyze whether computerized tomography may modify the treatment.

Methods:

Cross-sectional study comparing and analyzing the similarity between angles and radiologic classification of interest in slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) .

Results:

It was observed that the therapeutic management in slipped capital femoral epiphysis might be modified depending on the classification and radiologic acquisition method adopted.

Conclusion:

Multiplanar assessment of proximal femoral deformity in patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a viable option, with the potential to modify the disease classification and, consequently, the therapeutic management.
