Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a severe and catastrophic disorder that affects the hips of adolescents. Many reports about surgical procedures to treat this condition have been published, but to our knowledge, there are no published results of treatment in Latin American patients. This study describes the clinical and radiological results of the modified Dunn procedure with the surgical approach described by Ganz to treat mild to severe SCFE in a cohort of Colombian pediatric patients.
