SEPARATION OF THE CAPITAL FEMORAL EPIPHYSIS

ANDREW R. MACAUSLAND M.D.1

1 The MacAusland Orthopaedic Clinic

Closed manipulative reduction has proved efficacious in a series of twenty-nine cases. In 80 per cent. of these cases, excellent or good functional results were obtained; in 8 per cent., the functional results were fair. Successful treatment by closed reduction depends upon:

1. Early institution of treatment.

2. Accomplishment of complete reduction.

3. Active treatment for a sufficiently long period.

The new curved cassette makes it possible to ascertain whether or not reduction has been accomplished.
