Gait abnormalities following slipped capital femoral epiphysis

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the gait function following slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) with the healthycontrols.Material and Methods: We included 31 of 76 SCFE patients who were treated with in situ pinning between 2005 and 2013. Weexcluded patients with radiographic or clinical evidence of a contralateral slip, less than 2-years follow-up, incomplete epiphysealclosure, musculoskeletal abnormalities that can affect gait, avascular necrosis or chondrolysis and needed revision surgery. Tomeasure the patients’ quality of life and physical function Harris hip score and the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instruments(PODCI) scores were used. All patients and control group were underwent whole-body motion analysis.Results: The mean age of patients when gait analyses were performed was 16.5 ± 2.5 years, and mean body mass index (BMI) was27.78 ± 5.6 kg/m2. A control group was formed from volunteers whose mean age was 17.84 ± 1.47 years that ranged between 16and 20 years, with a mean BMI of 27.72 ± 2.61 kg/m2. Significant gait deviations were detected in SCFE patients such as (SCFEversus control group); Pelvis tilt range of motion (ROM) (3.5±1.5 - 2.3±0.5, p=
