Coxa Plana: A Clinical and Radiological Investigation with Particular Reference to the Importance of the Metaphyseal Changes for the Final Shape of the Proximal Part of the Femur

Abstract

VI. THE COURSE OF THE RADIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN COXA PLANA.. Early radiological signs Earlier observations Observations on the present material Discussion Changes in the capital epiphysis Initial stage 62 Fragmentation stage 67 Reparative stage

Similar femoral growth and deformity with one screw versus two smooth pins for slipped capital femoral epiphysis

“…Longitudinal growth was evaluated on AP radiographs with the (a) caput-collum-diaphyseal (CCD) angle [14], (b) FNL [7], and (c) articulo-trochanteric distance (ATD) [15]. CCD angle was determined by the intersection of a line parallel to the femoral neck (through the centre of the femoral head) and a line along the axis of the femoral diaphysis (Fig.…”
