[Mid-Term Results of Treatment of Severe Grades of Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis without Surgical Hip Dislocation].

CONCLUSIONS The best results were achieved by closed reduction of acute slips where no complications were present. Subcapital osteotomy without surgical dislocation is comparable with modified osteotomy with surgical hip dislocation. Intertrochanteric osteotomy represents an efficient method in treating grade II slips. Transphyseal fixation without slip correction cannot be recommended in treating severe slips. Key words: slipped capital femoral epiphysis, severe grades of slip, subcapital femoral osteotomy, intertrochanteric femoral osteotomy, closed reduction of slip. PMID: 30843510 [PubMed - in process]
