Treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis complicated by chondrolysis of the hip joint

Abstract

The experience of treatment of 38 patient (39 joints) with slipped capital femoral epiphysis complicated by chondrolysis of the hip joint is presented. Clinical and radiologic examinations, comparable scintigraphy with 99mTc (10 patients) and morphologic examination (11 joints) were used. Camparable evaluation of outcomes of conservative (24 patients) and operative (14 patients) tratment confirmed the advisability of early surgical treatment. Mobilized-decompression procedure both an, independent one and in combination with reconstructive osteotomy is the method of choice. The follow up period ranged from 1.5 to 6 years. In 10 patients long term results were good, in 3 patients -satisfactory and in 1 patient - unsatisfactory.
