ABSTRACT

Introduction. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis involves the lost of normal function in proximal femur. The purpose of the study was to evaluate mobility of hips before and after surgical treatment.
Methods. A retrospective cohort of 54 cases was selected. For statistical evaluation of hip functionality before and after surgical treatment Wilcoxon test was used.
Results. Thirty-three male and 17 female patients were included in the study. From these patients a total of 64 hips were affected: 26 left (48%), 18 right (33%) and 10 bilateral (19%). The treatment consisted mainly of internal fixation with cannulated screw. The Wilcoxon test showed a difference statistically significant for better hip mobility after surgical treatment.
Conclusion. The mobility of hips was better after surgical treatment disregarding the type of internal fixation.
