Subclinical slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Relationship to osteoarthrosis of the hip

摘要: We examined the femora of 2665 adult human skeletons from an osteological collection to determine prevalence post-slip morphology termed femoral head-tilt deformity by Murray and pistol-grip Stulberg et al. The hypothesis was that primary osteoarthrosis hip is a secondary manifestation subclinical developmental disorder hip. 8 per cent (215 skeletons). Severe more prevalent in association with (116 [38 cent] 306 hips) than matched controls (seventy-nine [26 (p < 0.005). In had unilateral morphology, severe involved hips (thirty-one [37 eighty-three) contralateral, normal (eighteen [22 0.05). Post-slip which unrelated age, found be major risk factor for development high-grade osteoarthrosis. noted evidence sixty-three (68 cent) ninety-three minimum individuals who been fifty-six years old or at time death compared forty-five (48 control hips.
