Lateral insertion is a good prognostic factor after in situ fixation in slipped capital femoral epiphysis
BACKGROUND In situ fixation (ISF) is standard treatment for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) to stabilize the epiphysis and to prevent further slip. The aim of this study was to clarify the incidence of slip progression after ISF and its prognostic factors. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 53 hips in 49 consecutive SCFE patients who underwent single screw ISF and were followed unti...
متن کاملSubtrochanteric osteotomy effectively treats femoroacetabular impingement after slipped capital femoral epiphysis.
UNLABELLED Femoroacetabular impingement causing pain and deformity often follows in situ pinning for severe, stable (Grade III) slipped capital femoral epiphysis. We asked whether a transverse percutaneous subtrochanteric osteotomy using external fixation could decrease pain, restore function and motion, and improve radiographic outcome. We performed a transverse subtrochanteric osteotomy with ...
متن کاملProgressive slip after removal of screw fixation in slipped capital femoral epiphysis: two case reports
UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION In slipped capital femoral epiphysis the femoral neck displaces relative to the head due to weakening of the epiphysis. Early recognition and adequate surgical fixation is essential for a good functional outcome. The fixation should be secured until the closure of the epiphysis to prevent further slippage. A slipped capital femoral epiphysis should not be confused wit...
متن کاملPrognostic factors for long-term outcome of chronic slipped capital femoral epiphysis treated with fixation in situ
PURPOSE Predictive factors for long-term outcome after in situ fixation for chronic slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) have so far not been systematically analysed. The aims of this study were to define predictors for long-term outcome and to assess the association between initial grade of slipping and post-slip deformities. METHODS We studied 51 patients (60 hips) with chronic SCFE tre...
متن کاملBilateral epiphyseal migration following fixation for slipped capital femoral epiphyses in a hypothyroid child.
Progression of slipped capital femoral epiphysis following in situ screw fixation typically occurs through loosening of the screw in the metaphysis. Epiphyseal migration off the screw due to physeal growth is rare. We report epiphyseal migration off bilateral screws in a child undergoing thyroid replacement therapy. Patients with mild and moderate slipped capital femoral epiphysis and endocrine...
