The management of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is controversial. Surgical decision-making is based regularly on the chronicity, stability, and severity of the slip. The purpose of this study was to determine the true angulation and spatial orientation of the epiphysis in hips with SCFE and contralateral hips.
