Physical remodeling of valgus slipped capital femoral epiphyses

ABSTRACT

Valgus displacement of the capital femoral epiphysis occurs very rarely. Physeal remodelling, not previously reported in valgus slips, is herein described in three hips. It provides further support for the concept of initial pin fixation and observing for any remodelling to occur that may obviate the need for femoral neck osteotomies
