Key result
Slippage of more than 30 degrees and decreased head-neck offset (slip angles 30-50 degrees) in slipped capital femoral epiphysis restricted range of motion similarly to severe slippage.

Moderate SCFE with reduced offset restricts hip ROM like severe slip; hypothesis-generating for offset-inclusive planning, needs prospective validation.

Does femoral head-neck junction morphology influence range of motion and type of impingement in patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis?
In patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis, femoral metaphysis morphology significantly restricts range of motion and should be considered alongside slip angle when planning reconstructive surgery.
Mamisch et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) (n=31). Femoral metaphysis morphology and degree of slippage vs. Unaffected hips or mild slippage was evaluated on Range of motion (ROM) limitation. Slippage of more than 30 degrees and decreased head-neck offset (slip angles 30-50 degrees) in slipped capital femoral epiphysis restricted range of motion similarly to severe slippage.
