Biomechanical Implications of Spinopelvic Alignment on Femoral Head Cartilage and the Proximal Femoral Physis in Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis: A Theoretical Finite Element Analysis
2024-02-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a prevalent pediatric hip disorder. Recent studies suggest the spine’s sagittal profile may influence the proximal femoral growth plate’s slippage, an aspect not extensively explored. This study utilizes finite element analysis to investigate how different spinopelvic alignments affect shear stress and potential slippage at the growth plate. <h4>Meth...
