Two-year 3D gait outcomes following in-situ pinning or modified Dunn procedure in children with slipped capital femoral epiphysis
Gait patterns of children with SCFE treated with PIN was more markedly altered than that of children with SCFE treated with MDP, despite having lower SCFE severity. Increased external hip rotation observed in the PIN group may be a pre-cursor for osteoarthritis in adulthood. Therefore the use of the corrective MDP which normalises hip rotation may be beneficial for reducing functional impairments.
