  • Title: Internal fixation of slipped femoral capital epiphyses.
    Author: Cameron HU, Wang M, Koreska J.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1978; (137):148-53. PubMed ID: 743821.
    Abstract:
    The problems related to internal fixation for the treatment of slipped femoral capital epiphyses were reviewed in 164 cases and by a questionnaire of 59 orthopedic surgeons. Significant problems were reported with all fixation devices. With Trifin nails, the main difficulty was getting them to stay in in place. With threaded pins, there was difficulty removing them. The best fixation was obtained with the cast Vitallium Knowles pin, but it requires additional modification and improvement.
