  • Title: [Surgical reposition in the management of epiphysiolysis of the femoral head].
    Author: Szepesi K, Biró B, Gáspár L.
    Journal: Magy Traumatol Orthop Helyreallito Seb; 1989; 32(2):83-8. PubMed ID: 2570891.
    Abstract:
    In major slipped femoral capital epiphysis the hip function can be restored with a possibly adequate correction of the deformity. Previously authors have performed various inter- and subtrochanteric femoral osteotomies with this aim, in 4 recent cases however the slipped femoral head was reduced operatively according to Dunn and Angel. 2-4 years after the operation good results were found. The blood supply of the epiphysis was not damaged in either case, and the hip motion was restricted in one case only, in which previously 2 other operations were already performed. The operative reduction with the technique described is suggested where the conditions of this considerable operation are given.
