    AbstractThe cases of 2 patients with valgus slipped capital femoral epiphysis are presented. Additional imaging studies provide support for true posterolateral epiphyseal displacement. Increased femoral anteversion and coxa valga contribute to the pathogenesis of valgus slipped capital femoral epiphysis. In situ pin fixation is recommended for stable valgus slipped capital femoral epiphysis. The importance of valgus slipped capital femoral epiphysis lies in its recognition and appropriate screw placement when internal fixation is used. The percutaneous technique should be used with caution. A limited open technique is recommended when the anterior skin portal is near the femoral neurovascular bundle.
