Different operative treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis: a comparative study of biomechanical status of the hip.
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.
