Abstract

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is the most common hip disorder in adolescents. The goal of treatment is to achieve premature closure of epiphysis to prevent further slippage. Outcomes after in situ pinning include complications and subsequent treatment from re-pinning and reconstructive surgery. Residual pain and functional disturbance through leg length discrepancy and impingement is the most common outcome.
