Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment for Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis

What is the treatment for Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis?

Some of the treatment strategies of this condition are:

  • In situ fixation: Mostly used for patients with mild SCFE. A small incision is made near the hip and a metal screw is inserted to maintain the position of the femoral head and avoid any slippage.
  • Open reduction: In this process, an open incision is made on the hip and the femur is redirected to its normal position. Metal screws are used to hold the femur in its place.

We provide the best treatments of conditions such as SCFE with a specialized team of doctors and advanced techniques. We also provide children with a safe environment for as long as their treatment demands them to be in the hospital. Minute but important things like these make Yashoda Hospitals the best center in Hyderabad.
