The progressive longitudinal traction reduction of unstable slipped capital femoral epiphysis: Preliminary results in 11 patients

Abstract: Purpose Unstable slipped capital femoral epiphysis is rare, but is frequently associated with avascular necrosis. The rapid and complete reduction of the epiphysis displacement was shown to be responsible for this complication. We present the preliminary results of a progressive reduction technique of epiphysis displacement. Methods A total of 11 patients treated using progressive traction and internal fixation were reviewed retrospectively. Only children who underwent clinical and radiological follow-up for a… Show more

“…It is characterized by a displacement of the upper femoral epiphysis in a dorsal, medial, and caudal direction. Although a number of nonoperative and operative treatment strategies have been described [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], in situ fixation in order to stabilize the physis by effecting a closure of the physis is a treatment recommended by many surgeons.…”
