We present a single surgeon series of 20 modified Dunn osteotomies without surgical dislocation of the femoral head for slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SUFE). All patients from 2007 to 2011 who had a Dunn osteotomy for SUFE had their notes reviewed and we obtained an updated Non Arthritic Hip Score.Introduction
Method
Paediatric hip fracture accounts for less than one percent of paediatric fractures. Previous studies report complication rates between 20 and 92%. We retrospectively identified patients with fixation for neck of femur fractures at Birmingham Children's Hospital. All patients were under age sixteen. Data were reviewed over a 10 year period (1997-2006). Fractures were classified by Delbet's classification and Ratliff's system to grade avascular necrosis (AVN). Function was assessed using Ratcliff's criteria, incorporating clinical examination and radiographic findings.Introduction
