Key Points

■ If there is clinical suspicion of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), pelvic radiographs of both hips in neutral and lateral views should be obtained (limited evidence).

■ CT may be of value for preoperative planning if there is severe SCFE (limited evidence).

■ If there is clinical concern about avascular necrosis of the femoral head in the postoperative period, MRI can be used to confirm the diagnosis (limited evidence).
