case_images: Preoperative roentgenograms. Anteroposterior (AP) radiograph demonstrating an intact Klein's line (Red). There is subtle effacement of the physis compared to the contralateral side resulting in a more spherical appearance of the femoral head (Yellow). Lateral radiographs confirm posterior displacement of the epiphysis in relation to the femoral neck. The posterior slip angle was measured to be 43.

case_images: Her roentgenograms, shown in Figure 1, demonstrated bilateral coxa valga with an intact Klein's line and slight effacement of the left femoral epiphysis.
case_images: Six-weeks postoperative roentgenograms. Radiographs demonstrating fixation in the left Hip with two partially threaded cancellous screws (Synthes, USA). The anteroposterior (AP) radiograph shows reversal of physeal effacement, and the lateral radiographs confirms improvement of the posterior displacement of the epiphysis. The posterior slip angle was measured to be 18.

case_images: Postoperative radiographs taken at 6 weeks following fixation are shown in Figure 2, showing sustained improvement in the posterior slope angle.
case_images: One-year postoperative roentgenograms. Radiographs demonstrating fixation in the left Hip with two partially threaded cancellous screws (Synthes, USA) and prophylactic pinning of the right Hip with cannulated shaft screw (Synthes, USA). The radiographs demonstrate no evidence of slip progression, avascular necrosis or chondrolysis of the left femoral head. On the right side, there was evidence of epiphyseal escape from the prophylactic fixation.
