Frequency of radiographic signs of slipped capital femoral epiphysiolysis sequelae in hip arthroplasty candidates for coxarthrosis.
The rate of osteoarthritis of the hip secondary to slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a subject of debate, and its frequency is underestimated in particular because of subclinical forms that may not be diagnosed during childhood. ⋯ Level III. Diagnostic prospective study with a control group.

Observational StudyDistal targeting device for long Gamma nail(®). Monocentric observational study.
Intramedullary nail distal locking screws make it possible to control length and rotation but include an increased risk of radiation exposure. A distal targeting device was recently developed for long Gamma(®) nails (Stryker(®)). The aim of this practical observational study was to evaluate the reliability of this system. Our hypothesis was that the targeting device would be systematically used without conversion or complications. ⋯ Level IV, cohort study, observational prospective follow-up.
