Atraumatic open reduction with controlled traction in acute slipped capital femoral epiphysis in adolescents.
In the management of slipped capital femoral epiphysis, the modified technique of so-called open traction reduction has proven to be atraumatic, relatively straightforward in terms of surgical technique, and has led to successful outcomes. It seems that additional, that is, surgery-related circulatory disorders of the femoral epiphysis can be avoided by this method.
