Treatment of Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis With the Modified Dunn Procedure: A Multicenter Study.

Introduction: Treatment of moderate to severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is controversial. Over the last years, 3 institutions in Argentina adopted the modified Dunn procedure for capital realignment in selected cases of SCFE. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome and the rate of complications of patients who had undergone surgical hip dislocation and capital realignment.

Natural history of type III growth disturbance after treatment of developmental dislocation of the hip.

Background: Type III growth disturbance (T3GD) following reduction for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a relatively rare, but potentially devastating complication. This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of patients treated for DDH who developed a T3GD hip compared to those who didn't, with an emphasis on possible risk factors.

Methods: A case-control design was used.
