A comparative study of blade plate fixation and external fixation in osteotomies for slipped capital femoral epiphysis.

We have performed corrective osteotomies for moderate or severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) using an original blade plate (BP) until 2006 and using a hybrid external fixator (EF) since 2007. We designed a comparative study of the short-term results between BP and EF devices in the treat
