Abstrakt: Background: This study evaluates the radiological parameters of developing subsequent contralateral slips in unilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) patients at the time of initial presentation.
Methods: The study group included the review of unilateral SCFE patients treated between June 2007 and August 2018. Age, gen-der, side, stability, posterior slope angle, grade of slip, modified Oxford bone age score (mOBAS), the Risser classification, and the ap-pearance of the triradiate cartilage were evaluated retrospectively. Data were analyzed between two groups: subsequent contralateral SCFE (SCFESC) patients that developed contralateral slip during follow-up and unilateral SCFE (SCFEU) patients that did not develop contralateral slip up to skeletal maturity. Descriptive statistics were used to compare risk factors between groups.
Results: This study included 48 patients and 6 patients (12.5%) developed a SCFESC. Only mOBAS was significantly different be-tween groups. The mOBAS scores in SCFESC were 18 in 2 patients (33.3%), 19 in 4 patients (66.7%). The mOBAS scores in SCFEU were 18 in 1 patient (2.4%), 19 in 24 patients (57.1%), and >20 in 17 patients (40.5%). In the SCFESC group, all patients had a Risser score of 0 and all had open triradiate cartilage.
Conclusion: Patients with unilateral SCFE are at risk for SCFESC, and the mOBAS is the best predictor of risk assessment. We agree that mOBAS score of 16,17 or 18 patients' contralateral hips can be prophylactically pinned. We also suggest pinning or close screening of mOBAS 19 patients that some carry relatively high risk of subsequent contralateral slip.
