Supports modified Dunn safety in moderate-severe SCFE without osteonecrosis; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation.
Does a modified capital reorientation procedure safely correct deformity in patients with moderate to severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis?
The modified Dunn procedure appears to be a safe and reproducible technique for fully correcting moderate to severe slipped capital femoral epiphyses without causing osteonecrosis.
Ziebarth et al. (2009) studied this question.
