Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis Managed by Ganz Safe Surgical Dislocation of Hip: A Case Report with 2 Years Follow-up.
Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports 2022 August
INTRODUCTION: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is commonly managed by in situ screw fixation. However, higher grades of slips require restoration of normal anatomy of the femoral head without compromising the blood supply.
CASE REPORT: A 16-year-old adolescent male presented with the left hip pain and progressive limping for 4 days with no history of previous trauma. On examination, the patient had severe tenderness and gross restriction of movements. Radiological examination revealed Grade 2 acute on chronic SCFE with unstable slip. Modified Dunn procedure through Ganz surgical hip dislocation facilitated the complete restoration of normal anatomy without avascular necrosis of femoral head changes at 2 years of follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Ganz safe surgical dislocation of the hip is safe for the femoral head, preserving its blood supply in toto and the modified Dunn procedure facilitated the complete restoration of normal anatomy even in acute on chronic type of SCFE cases.
