[Femoral head epiphyseolysis].

Abstract

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis could be regarded as exceeding of a physiological process in puberty in which overweight of the patients seems to be the essential factor. Early clinical and radiological diagnosis are important to perform simple surgical procedures stopping further lysis and avoiding later osteoarthritis. Fixation of the femoral epiphysis with K.-wires are emphasized worldwide because of the lower complication rate. In case of severe slip osteotomies for realignment are more problematic. Long term follow-up studies have shown poor results mostly because of chondrolysis and femoral head necrosis in a high percentage. The demand on renunciation of realignment procedures in s.c.f.e. however, can't be supported. In our own patients, recently followed up, realignment osteotomies were without greater problems with no complications like chondrolysis or head necrosis. Stabile fixation of osteotomies allowed early mobilisation just after operation and may be one reason that chondrolysis didn't exist in our patient group. Considering our knowledge today therapeutic procedure of slipped capital femoral epiphysis is described.
