  • Title: [Results following sub-capital and Imhäuser-Weber osteotomy in femur head epiphyseolysis].
    Author: Ballmer PM, Gilg M, Aebi B, Ganz R.
    Journal: Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb; 1990; 128(1):63-6. PubMed ID: 2138391.
    Abstract:
    63 slipped capital femoral epiphysis were treated either by a femoral neck osteotomy or by an intertrochanteric osteotomy. In almost all cases a normal anatomical relationship of the proximal capital femoral epiphysis to the neck of the femur was achieved. At an average follow-up of 10 years (2 to 19 years) 90% were rated good to excellent clinically. In 33 hips with a follow-up period of more than 10 years mild degenerative arthritis was present in 36%. Slipping of 60 degrees or less is best treated by an intertrochanteric osteotomy to avoid the higher complication rate in the femoral neck osteotomy.
