Outcome of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) according to the severity of slip*

Severity^¶	Patients with this degree of severity (percent)	Iowa hip score^Δ of hips at latest follow-up	Osteonecrosis (percent)	Chondrolysis (percent)
Mild	43	89	2	7
Moderate	32	81	18	16
Severe	25	73	19	31

* Data from 155 hips in 124 patients with SCFE followed for a mean of 41 years.
¶ Mild slips are <30 degrees of femoral head-shaft angle deviation from the contralateral side; moderate slips are between 30 and 50 degrees; severe slips are >50 degrees.
Δ The Iowa hip score is a standardized instrument that gives points for function, freedom from pain, gait, absence of deformity and range of motion; normal score = 100.
