Abstrakt: This report reviews the results of 37 patients with 46 involved hips treated with pinning for slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Particular attention was given to incidence of complications, including avascular necrosis, chondrolysis, and penetration of the joint. Of 46 hips with 1-year follow-up, there were no cases of chondrolysis. Of 23 hips with 2-year follow-up, there was only 1 case of avascular necrosis. Pin penetration, recognized at the time of surgery, produced no significant sequelae. Pinning can produce satisfactory results without a significant incidence of major complication.
