Abstract
Slipping of the femoral capital epiphysis is a common problem in growing children. For the treatment of this disease, it is of the utmost importance to prevent complications that would adversely affect normal development of the hip joint. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to choose a treatment that will allow the hip joint to develop normally and which will prevent osteoarthritic changes in the future. The long-term results of cases treated with Imhaeuser’s method [1,2] are reported here. The results were very satisfying, and this treatment should be continued in the future.
