Abstract
Severe bilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) secondary to renal osteodystrophy is infrequent at any age. Management was a significant dilemma in the 3-year-old child we report because of the degree of slippage and our concern over the sequelae of premature capital physeal closure. Fixation without physeal closure was obtained by inserting a specially fabricated screw without threads across the physis after the slippage had been reduced with traction.
