<i>In situ</i> pinning or modified Dunn procedure? Which one is superior in slipped capital femoral epiphysis surgery? A case-control study including only stable/moderate cases.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The study aimed to compare the clinical and radiologic results of in situ pinning and modified Dunn procedure methods in stable-moderate slipped capital femoral epiphyses surgery.

Methods

Slipped capital femoral epiphyses cases between January 2000 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Stable and moderate cases treated with in situ pinning or modified Dunn procedure and those with a follow-up period longer than 1 year were included. Two groups were formed: the in situ pinning group and the modified Dunn procedure group. Radiologically, postoperative alpha angle, Southwick angle, avascular necrosis, and osteoarthritis rates were compared. Clinically, Harris Hip Score and Merle d'Aubigné score were compared. Total complications were eval
