Outcome Analysis of SCFE Managed By Ganz Safe Surgical Dislocation

Abstract: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a common adolescent hip disorder presenting as a painful hip in the adolescent population. The major management concern is the precarious blood supply to the femoral epiphysis. A surgical procedure fulfilling the requirement was brought by Ganz as a method of safe surgical dislocation of hip into limelight. This procedure gives credential to the vascular supply of femoral head at all stages. Ganz safe surgical dislocation made possible 360 degrees’ visualization of theacetabulum and the
femoral head. This also helps in anatomical realignment of femoral epiphysis over the metaphysis. In this study
weanalyse the patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) treated by Ganz safe surgical dislocation
and subcapital realignment of epiphysis and assess the functional, radiological outcome and complications of
the surgical procedure.
