title: [Growth disturbances after A-O cancellous screw head-neck transfixation for slipped femoral epiphysis].
abstract: The impact of head-neck A-O cancellous screw transfixation on subcapital growth plate in 20 children operated for slipped capital femoral epiphysis is presented. It was found, that early fusion of the growth plate may be attributed to the compression by A-O screw used for transfixation (p-0.0001). Resulting shortening of the femoral neck and relative overgrowth of the great trochanter did not influence the final outcome of treatment.
