Article Synopsis
- Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a prevalent hip issue in adolescents, where the severity and stability of the condition significantly influence management outcomes and risks, particularly for avascular necrosis (AVN).
- A case study of a 13-year-old boy with acute, unstable high-grade SCFE showed successful treatment through closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, resulting in restored hip function without AVN after 18 months.
- The findings suggest that even after 2 weeks from the initial injury, aggressive management like closed reduction can lead to favorable outcomes, challenging the notion that such procedures should only be performed in exceptional cases.
