Is Subcapital Realignment for Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis a Reproducible Technique? Midterm Results

CONCLUSION: In this series, the modified Dunn procedure in moderate and severe slips was a reproducible procedure, and few patients developed symptomatic AVN or experienced other complications. Hip morphology was restored, but a longer follow-up duration and a detailed analysis of the results from other centers is warranted to assess the possible long-term risk of progression to AVN or osteoarthritis.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, therapeutic study.PMID:38165277 | DOI:10.1097/CORR.0000000000002948
