Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The study would add to the literature after achieving its aim through the assessment of modified Dunn osteotomy after surgical hip dislocation in the management of moderate and severe SCFE showing promising results in achieving the optimal functional and radiological outcomes for the patients.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Although we came across AVN in 16.7% of cases, all occurring in unstable hips, we believe this complication is due to the primary irreversible vascular insult rather than any technical issue whilst operating.	—
