Arthroscopic osteochondroplasty in patients with mild slipped capital femoral epiphysis after in situ fixation

Abstract

Arthroscopic osteochondroplasty can successfully correct the antero-superior α-angle in patients with mild SCFE to normal values. Clinical randomized controlled studies with long-term follow-up are required to find evidence of improved functional and radiographic mid- and long-term outcome compared to in situ fixation alone.
