The Free-Gliding (FG) SCFE Screw by Pega Medical is an innovative “nonfusion” approach to the treatment of the most common hip problem in growing children: Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis.
Plate and screw constructs have gradually replaced rigid staples to become a leading treatment option for lower extremity angular deformity correction in growing children.
The Meritorious Service Decorations recognize great Canadians for exceptional deeds accomplished over a limited period of time that bring honour to Canada.
The current standard of care for the treatment of SCFE is in situ fixation with the aim of causing epiphysiodesis to prevent further slippage using partial or fully threaded screws across the physis.
