Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome caused by slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) can be successfully treated arthroscopically and with the minimally invasive, outside-in surgical technique. The advantages of the technique are that the residual cam-type deformity caused by the slippage can be corrected and reconstructed reliably and reproducibly before distracting the hip joint; and radiation with fluoroscopy is used for only definitive reduction and reconstruction, which is obtained with cannulated screws. In addition, this safe technique allows distraction of the hip after screw placement, without affecting the reconstruction, to address labral tears and chondrolabral delaminations caused by the impingement.
