    Author: Bara T, Zwierzchowska D.
    Journal: Chir Narzadow Ruchu Ortop Pol; 1990; 55(4-6):359-63. PubMed ID: 1369845.
    Abstract:
    Forty seven patients were treated because of slipping of the capital femoral epiphysis, in 23 patients (48.9%) both hips were involved. In one third of these cases both hips were diagnosed at the same time, in one third second hip was diagnosed from 6 to 24 months later, in one third only late diagnosis of juvenile symptom free--thus the late diagnosis. In 18 hips slipping was less than 30 degrees, in 5 hips more than 30 degrees. On the basis of authors own experience and review of literature the conclusion was made to fix with K--wires epiphysis of the opposite hip as a prophylaxis against slipping.
