Traditional management of moderate to severe stable slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) has been in situ fixation followed by reconstructive surgery if symptoms arise. This delayed approach may lead to irreversible intra-articular damage of the hip over time. The purpose of this study was to compare radiographic and clinical outcomes of the modified Dunn procedure (MDP) versus in situ fixation followed by delayed Imhauser osteotomy (DIO).
