We share our experience in management of failed in-situ pinning in severe unstable Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) by surgical dislocation approach. A retrospective review of hip database from 2006 to 2013 showed 41 children underwent surgical dislocation for SCFE. We identified seven who had severe slip with failed in-situ pinning.Purpose
Method
This study aims to report the radiological corrections achieved and complication profile of Peri-Acetabular Osteotomy (PAO) undertaken through the minimally invasive approach. 106 PAOs were performed in 103 patients, by senior author, using a minimally invasive approach from 2007 to 2015. Pre- and post-operative radiographs were reviewed and the degree of acetabular re-orientation was analysed. Case notes were examined retrospectively to identify haemoglobin levels and complications across two sites.Purpose
Method
This report compares midterm results of open neck osteoplasty +
neck osteotomy vs arthroscopic osteoplasty for severe Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE). Database from 2006 to 2013 identified 22 patients out of 187 operations for SCFE. 12 underwent Open Neck Osteotomy (ONO) and osteoplasty by Ganz surgical dislocation approach. 10 underwent Arthroscopic Osteoplasty (AO). The mean follow-up for the ONO and AO groups were 59 (46 – 70), 36.1 (33 – 46) months respectively.Purpose
