The decision to undertake prophylactic pinning to prevent contralateral slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SUFE) remains controversial; we hypothesised that the grade of initial SUFE could predict the grade of a second SUFE and risk of poor outcome. We retrospectively reviewed radiographs of all children who presented to Alder Hey with a new diagnosis of SUFE between 2007–2014. Of those who developed a contralateral SUFE, grade of first and second SUFE was determined radio-graphically using %
slip and Southwick angle on frog lateral radiograph.Purpose
