PURPOSE: Compare slipped capital femoral epiphysis stabilized on fracture versus radiolucent table. METHODS: Twenty unilateral stable mild slipped capital femoral epiphyses were stabilized in-situ with a single screw. Age, sex, side, body-mass index, type of table, anesthesia time, surgery time, fluoroscopy time, number of fluoroscopy images, preoperative/postoperative lateral head-shaft angle, and number of screw threads engaging the epiphysis were noted. RESULTS: There were no differences in the measured parameters. CONCLUSIONS: Stabilization of mild slipped capital femoral epiphysis can be accomplished reliably and safely with the use of either a radiolucent or fracture table.
