Abstract

Background. The spatial relationship between the epiphysis and the acetabulum in slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) with severe chronic epiphysis displacement is restored by different corrective extra-articular femoral osteotomies and a standard Dunn procedure. Severe residual deformity of the femoral component of the joint with symptoms of femoroacetabular impingement and a large number of severe ischemic complications forced the surgeons to improve the technique of these surgical interventions. In particular, a modified Dunn procedure was proposed using a low traumatic surgical hip dislocation. However, the selection of surgical treatment in these patients remains a subject of discussion.

Aim. This study aimed to improve the results of treatment in children with SCFE with severe chronic epiphysis displacement.

Materials and methods. Data of preoperative and postoperative clinical and radiological studies of 40 patients (24 male and 16 female) aged 12–15 years who were suffering from SCFE with severe chronic epiphysis displacement were analyzed. In all cases, on the lesion side, displacement was found in typical directions (posterior-downward or only posterior), and in the contralateral joint, the disease was still at its initial stage (pre-slip). In group 1 (n = 20 children), a corrective extra-articular femoral (anterior-rotational or rotational-valgus) osteotomy was performed according to the method we have proposed in 2011 [22], and in group 2 (n = 20 children), the modified Dunn procedure that strictly followed our technique was performed. The follow-up period after surgery in both groups ranged from 1 month to 2.5 years.

Results. At 2.5 years after surgery, good anatomical and functional outcomes were observed only in 1 (12.5%) of 8 patients in group 1, while they were observed in 7 (87.5%) of 8 patients in group 2. Poor results were determined by residual epiphyseal displacement (from 22° to 28°) and/or step-like transition of the anterior femoral neck surface to the head in 5 (62.5%) children in group 1 and by femoral head avascular necrosis (diagnosed in 6 months after surgery) in 1 (12.5%) child in group 2.

Conclusion. The results allow us to make a preliminary conclusion about the high efficiency of the modified Dunn procedure and the low efficiency of the corrective extra-articular femoral osteotomy in SCFE with severe chronic displacement of the epiphysis. The modified Dunn procedure corrects the pronounced deformity of the femoral component of the affected joint and femoroacetabular impingement in the above-mentioned anatomical situations.
