“…Blasier [10] showed that operating time was prolonged significantly when a fracture table was used but with no significant difference in screw position in a group of stable SCFE. This could be different for the unstable slip.…”

A questionnaire was sent to all members of the British Society for Children's Orthopaedic Surgery and the Werkgroep Kinder Orthopaedie to identify points of agreement/disagreement on the management of the acute unstable slip of the upper femoral epiphysis and to compare these European results with those from a similar North American survey. Sixty-five per cent responded. Overall, both countries evaluated cases similarly and believed in their urgent management. Sixty-six per cent did not reposition the slip. Significant differences were observed in attitude towards single screw usage, prophylactic pinning and metalwork removal both between the two countries and in comparison with North America.

Multiple radiographic images may be necessary during the standard procedure of in-situ pinning of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) hips. This procedure can be performed with the patient positioned on a fracture table or a radiolucent table. Our study aims to look at any differences in the amount and duration of radiation exposure for in-situ pinning of SCFE performed using a traction table or a radiolucent table. Sixteen hips in thirteen patients who were pinned on radiolucent table were compared for the cumulative radiation exposure to 35 hips pinned on a fracture table in 33 patients during the same time period. Cumulative radiation dose was measured as dose area product in Gray centimeter2 and the duration of exposure was measured in minutes. Appropriate statistical tests were used to test the significance of any differences. Mean cumulative radiation dose for SCFE pinned on radiolucent table was statistically less than for those pinned on fracture table (P<0.05). The mean duration of radiation exposure on either table was not significantly different. Lateral projections may increase the radiation doses compared with anteroposterior projections because of the higher exposure parameters needed for side imaging. Our results showing decreased exposure doses on the radiolucent table are probably because of the ease of a frog leg lateral positioning obtained and thereby the ease of lateral imaging. In-situ pinning of SCFE hips on a radiolucent table has an additional advantage that the radiation dose during the procedure is significantly less than that of the procedure that is performed on a fracture table.
