    Author: Tokarowski A, Wojciechowski P.
    Journal: Chir Narzadow Ruchu Ortop Pol; 1993; 58(5):393-8. PubMed ID: 7671721.
    Abstract:
    The results of treatment of 29 hips with slipped capital femoral epiphysis stabilized "in situ" with one or two AO cancellous screws have been presented. Excellent and good results have been achieved in 26 hips, the remaining 3 cases were rated as fair and poor. At the follow-up examination no early osteoarthritic changes of avascular necrosis of the femoral head were found in any case. The complications seem to decrease in number with the use of one screw only.
