Article Synopsis
- - Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a condition affecting adolescents, with a significantly higher risk of developing the condition on the opposite hip for those with an initial unilateral SCFE, particularly in younger patients or those with certain health issues.
- - The study aimed to assess the risk of developing contralateral SCFE and evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of preventive surgical procedures on the unaffected hip in healthy children.
- - Out of 293 researched publications, 26 studies involving 12,897 patients indicated that 14% later experienced symptomatic contralateral slips, while 38% had asymptomatic slips, highlighting potential advantages of prophylactic fixation.
