Abstract
We present a case of epiphyseal reperfusion in a 12-year-old boy following subcapital realignment of a unstable slipped capital femoral epiphysis. The case demonstrates that even if delayed, anatomical surgical realignment of the femoral head can be successful in preserving or reestablishing blood flow to the femoral epiphysis.
