To optimize the anatomical and functional surgical treatment results in patients with early (I-II) stages of juvenile femoral head epiphysiolysis both pre- and postoperative data of clinical, x-ray and magnetic-resonance examinations were analyzed for 120 patients aged 11 - 15 years. Maximum follow up period after surgical interventions, i.e. femoral head epiphysiodesis (n=60) and femoral head epiphysis fixation (n=60) made up 23 and 3 years, respectively. It was shown that surgical intervention for the fixation of femoral head epiphysis ensured reliable stability of the epiphysis preventing the latter from displacement development and progression, and did not exert significant influence upon either femoral neck and head endochondral growth or the length of the upper extremity.
