title: Different operative treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis: a comparative study of biomechanical status of the hip.
abstract: The biomechanical status of the hips subject to two different operative treatments was studied. The biomechanical status was determined by the peak stress on the weight bearing area using the 3-d mathematical model. It was found that the procedure according to Imhäuser yields considerably and statistically significantly higher peak stress than the procedure according to Dunn-Fish.
