  • Title: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Treatment by pinning in situ.
    Author: Lynch GJ, Stevens DB.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1987 Aug; (221):260-6. PubMed ID: 3608309.
    Abstract:
    This paper retrospectively reviews 46 hips in 33 patients treated for slipped capital femoral epiphyses (SCFE) between December 1964 and January 1983. The average clinical and roentgenogram follow-up evaluation was seven years. Twenty-nine patients had in-situ pinning and four had primary Southwick osteotomies. Eighty-nine percent of the patients treated had acceptable results. Unacceptable results were directly related to preoperative manipulation and/or pin penetration on x-ray. These results were not dependent on the degree of the slip, which ranged from 7 degrees-94 degrees.
