Final answer:
The growth plate zone responsible for SCFE is the zone of maturation and hypertrophy.
Step-by-step explanation:
The growth plate zone responsible for SCFE (Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis) is the zone of maturation and hypertrophy in the epiphyseal plate. This region is where chondrocytes from the proliferative zone grow and mature, contributing to the longitudinal growth of the epiphyseal plate.
