Compression External Fixation after Biplane Femoral Trochanteric Osteotomy for Severe Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis
A. Colyer, M.D.
External compressive fixators were used for fixation after a femoral
trochanteric osteotomy for severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis in two
large teen-aged boys. The method was found to simplify both the operative
fixation and the postoperative management. However, the healing time seemed to
be prolonged.
