The Free-Gliding SCFE Screw System is specifically designed to treat the most common hip problem in growing children: Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE). This screw is intended to prophylactically prevent or stop further slippage of the capito-femoral physis in children with open growth plates, without affecting the normal growth of the proximal femur.

Medial and lateral threaded fixations, connected through a trilobe self-extending shaft, aim to increase overall stability (both longitudinal and rotational) while avoiding the risk of premature physeal closure.

The Free-Gliding SCFE Screw System is available in 6.5 mm and 7.3 mm diameters, with lengths ranging from 60 mm to 102 mm in 2 mm increments, and with a maximum of 30 mm of growth potential.

This product may not be available in all markets. Please consult your local OP representative for availability.
