The Free-Gliding SCFE Screw System, designed to treat the most common hip problem
in growing children, SLIPPED CAPITAL FEMORAL EPIPHYSIS (SCFE), continues the tradition of Pega
Medical’s family of innovative pediatric devices. This screw is intended to prevent or stop further slippage of the capito-femoral physis, in children with open growth plates. Medial and lateral threaded fixations, connected through a trilobe free-extending shaft provide stability. The Free-Gliding SCFE Screw System allows for physiological remodeling of the femoral head in order to maintain optimal neck/shaft ratio and biomechanical function.
A revolution in the treatment of SCFE: A self-extending two part cannulated screw that will elongate with growth.
• Proximal and Distal threaded fixation forstability
• No compression or pre‐mature physeal closure
• Trilobe design creates rotational stability
• No need for protruding screw placement
• Allows neck growth
