  • Title: Two cases of cuneiform subcapitate osteotomy in the outcome of severe epiphysiolysis of the hip.
    Author: De Gennaro A, Cantagalli S, Moroni A, Pompili M, Vicenzi G.
    Journal: Chir Organi Mov; 1991; 76(4):359-64. PubMed ID: 1800049.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe two cases of subacute epiphysiolysis with severe slipping submitted to corrective subcapitate osteotomy of the femur with an anterior approach. The patients were followed-up after approximately 7 years, and satisfactory results were observed: movement in flexo-extension was preserved with mild limitation of intrarotation. The accuracy of the osteotomy during surgery is emphasized in order to avoid necrosis of the femoral head, and hypercorrection in valgus to avoid shortening.
