Background:Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), causing posterior and inferior displacement and retroversion of the femoral head, is a well-recognized etiology for femoroacetabular impingement and can lead to premature arthritis in the young adult. The treatment of malunited SCFE remains controversial. Surgical dislocation and subcapital correction osteotomy (SCO) has been described as a powerful method to correct the proximal femoral deformity.Methods:Between January 2003 and January 2010, 11 patients (12 hips) with closed femoral physes and symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement from malunited SCFE were treated with surgical dislocation and SCO. We performed a retrospective review of patient histories, physical examinations, operative findings, and preoperative and postoperative anteroposterior (AP) and groin-lateral (GLat) radiographs. Mean follow-up was 61 months.Results:There were 4 female and 7 male patients with an average age of 15 years at the time of SCO. On the AP radiograph, the mean inferior femoral head displacement (AP epiphyseal-neck angle) was significantly improved (− 26 to− 6 degrees, P< 0.001). On the GLat radiograph, the mean posterior femoral head displacement (lateral epiphyseal-neck angle) was significantly improved (− 45 to− 3 degrees, P< 0.001). The mean α-angle was also significantly improved on both views (AP: 85 to 56 degrees, P< 0.001; GLat: 85 to 46 degrees, P< 0.001). Operative findings included 1 femoral osteochondral defect, 8 Outerbridge grade 3 to 4 acetabular cartilage lesions, and 10 labral lesions. Significant improvement of the mean Harris Hip Score was seen at latest follow-up (54 to 77, P= 0.016). Complications occurred in 4 of the 12 cases with avascular necrosis in 2 patients, a worse postoperative Harris Hip Score in 1 patient, and failure of fixation treated successfully with revision open reduction internal fixation in 1 patient.Conclusions:SCO as an adjunct to surgical dislocation and osteochondroplasty can be used to correct the deformity of the proximal femur associated with malunited SCFE. Normalization of proximal femoral anatomy may postpone progression to severe osteoarthritis and thus delay the need for arthroplasty in this young patient population. However, surgeons and patients should be aware that the risks of this procedure in this population are significant.Level of Evidence:Level IV—therapeutic study.Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), a condition of early adolescence wherein the femoral epiphysis “slips” off of the proximal femoral neck, often leads to posteroinferior displacement and retroversion of the femoral head relative the femoral neck. In the absence of significant remodeling, this resulting deformity causes reduced range of motion and severe femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). 1 The FAI associated with SCFE leads to cartilage injury and premature arthritis in the young adult. 2–4 In addition, severely malunited capital epiphyses can be associated with functional limitations during gait and hip range of motion. Subcapital realignment has been described by Ziebarth et al and Slongo et al as a safe and effective treatment for acute and subacute SCFE in patients with open proximal femoral physes. 5, 6 It is felt that early deformity correction may prevent some of the long-term sequelae of SCFE.
