    Abstract:
    Results of Imhauser osteotomy for treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis grade II and III performed in 32 patients (33 hips) are presented. The average correction of the slip angle was 39.7 +/- 14.9 degrees. Excellent results were found in 16 hips (48.5%), good in 10 (30.3%), fair in 5 hips (15.1%) and poor results in 2 hips (6.1%). No head-neck fixation after osteotomy did not lead to further slippage and decreased the risk of other complications. In 6 hips (18.2%) chondrolysis occurred. In one case prolonged immobilization of the hip was to blame, perforation of the femoral head in another, no cause has been identified in remaining cases. Avascular necrosis of the head was not observed.
