Slipped capital femoral epiphysis in southern Sweden. Long-term result with closed reduction and hip plaster spica. 1987

G Ordeberg, and L I Hansson, and S Sandström

Seventy-two patients treated with closed reduction and hip spica for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (physiolysis colli femoris; PCF) were evaluated by questionnaire 25 to 66 years after primary treatment. Fifty-seven cases were examined with the use of clinical and radiographic methods. Pain and restricted hip function were obvious in most patients. In 25 of 72, an operation had been done in adult life for coxarthrosis. In a previously investigated group of PCF patients not actively treated, only two of 49 had had surgical treatment of coxarthrosis. Thus the results of closed reduction and hip spica are unfavorable, compared with those of nontreated cases. The results suggest a harmful influence of both reduction and hip spica.

D010003	Osteoarthritis	A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.
