Focusing on the biomechanical factors contributing to upper femoral epiphysiolysis, this study analyzes cases from the Tunis Children's Hospital over seven years. It identifies obesity as a significant factor, affecting 58% of cases, particularly in those with an adiposo-genital morphotype. The research evaluates clinical outcomes through the PMA score and assesses stability post-surgery via residual tilt angle measurements. The findings emphasize the importance of understanding biomechanical factors during screw placement to ensure stable osteosynthesis.
