The smooth outer pin allows thesurgeon to gently push the implant through thechannel, reducing the risk of diastasis between thefemoral neck and the fixationThe hook resists loosening of the fixation to thefemoral head as the longitudinal growth of thefemoral neck retracts the pin in the channelthereby stabilizing the femoral head.

5 Loosening ofthe osteosynthetic material is reduced because ofresorption and growth of the femoral neck undernormal the risk of unequal bonelengthThe growth of the femoral neck in cases withSlipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis, is an indicationof a lack of intra- and postoperative vasculardisturbance, as the nutrition for the proliferatingcells of the growth plate is provided by theepiphysial vessels. By preserving the blood supply,the Hansson Pin System is reducing the risk ofunequal bone extractionThe risk of the pin being trapped in the bone isreduced as the pin surface is smooth.

7 Short instrumentation and uncomplicatedprocedure allow fixation to be achieved withinan average of 15 minutes. The procedure lendsitself to spinal anaesthesia.

9 The drill hole and pin runs atright angles to the growth zone and is,depending on the degree of slipping, relativelycentrally located in the femoral neck andhead. The pin is 10-20 mm longer than thedrill hole in order to permit growth in thelength of the femoral neck. Slipping up to 60 can be stabilised by viewLateral view1 Patient Positioning & ReductionThe degree of slipping should be thoroughlyinvestigated by X-ray examinationpreoperatively. Reduction should only beperformed if there is pronounced slippingwithout signs of corresponding periosteal boneformation in the femoral is recommended during theoperation.

10 The image should include the head,neck and proximal femur down to the lessertrochanter. The proximal femur should bepositioned so that the neck is parallel to theradiation beam in the lateral projection. Thefoot should therefore be rotated inwards andfixed in 30-60 inward 9 OPERATIVE TECHNIQUESLIPPED CAPITAL FEMORAL EPIPHYSIS2 Stabilisation Guide-Wire InsertionAguide wire is inserted percutaneously in thetrochanteric region into the femoral neck andhead for stabilisation during the mm longitudinal subtrochantericincision is made and the fascia lata is dividedin the direction of the InsertionThe guide wire is inserted through the the AP-view the tip of the guide wire shouldbe level with the lesser trochanter.
