    Abstract:
    Fifteen patients (18 hips) whose hips underwent subcapital wedge osteotomy for severe chronic slipped capital femoral epiphysis were studied. The results of 14 patients were excellent, and the patients themselves believed the results of the operation to be excellent. One patient had both avascular necrosis and cartilage necrosis. The postoperative follow-up period ranged from 2 to 17 years (average 10 years 3 months).
