title: [Therapy of acute and subacute epiphysiolysis of the femur head].
abstract: Therapy and prognosis of the slipped capital femoral epiphysis are discussed in connection with the results obtained in the authors' own patients. Reduction of a dislocated femoral head is always desirable. If closed reduction fails, it will be necessary to reduce in full view. In smaller children, fixation is effected by means of several Kirschner wires, in older ones via screw osteosynthesis. Bone pegging or osteotomy are not suited for treatment of an acute or subacute slipped capital epiphysis.
