Sixty-two consecutive patients with 73 slipped capital femoral epiphyses (SCFEs) underwent pretreatment planar technetium bone scan to identify the presence of ischemia of the femoral head. The relationship of pretreatment ischemia and the development of avascular necrosis (AVN) was evaluated after a minimum follow-up of 12 months. All patients were treated with spica casting or pinning across the physis. No forceful manipulation was performed. None of the 63 stable SCFEs demonstrated ischemia by bone scan, and none developed AVN. Of the 10 unstable SCFEs, six demonstrated ischemia by bone scan, and five of the six developed AVN. None of the four unstable SCFEs without ischemia on bone scan developed AVN. Pretreatment bone scan is a sensitive predictor for development of AVN in unstable SCFEs and may provide a method for evaluating interventional treatments for AVN associated with SCFE.
