X-rays of 104 slipped upper femoral epiphysis (without reduction of epiphysis and complications) showed pathological datas of the hip joints (ACM-angle, CE-angle, Hüftwert) in one third of the cases in the beginning and 60% until 12 years later. With higher degree of slip the arthrosis increase, but not the pathological datas of the hip joint. There is no dependence between deformity of the hip and arthrosis. Apparently the articular cartilage necrosis partially determine the development of arthrosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
