Abstract

A percutaneous computed tomography (CT) guided pinning of experimentally reproduced slipped capital femoral epiphysis in five cadavers and one patient--who had bilateral pinning for moderate and severe grade chronic slip--was conducted. Prior investigations of cadavers revealed that this procedure can be performed in selected cases. The details of the technique are illustrated in this article.
