Proximal femoral epiphysiolysis (PFE) is a rare condition with an unknown
aetiopathogenesis. An early diagnosis and treatment is essential to minimize
premature degeneration of the joint. The authors reviewed the cases treated between
1980 and 2005 in our institution. This study was aimed at evaluating patients with hip
epiphysiolysis surgically treated by canullated screws or pinning and previously
controlled by short-term follow-up, in order to evaluate their level of physical activity,
complaints and hip mobility. These patients were contacted and clinically reviewed
with the application of the Tegner and Lysholm activity score, and the Larson Hip
score. The scores were also applied in the contralateral hip, serving as a control
group. The functional score is correlated with the patient’s radiological result
