Son kontrole gelerek değerlendirmeye alınan 9 hastanın takip süresi en az 3, en çok 66 ay olup ortalama süre 20.7 aydır. Hastalar klinik olarak Levack ve ark (11) kriterlerinin yanısıra radyolojik olarak da değerlendirildiler. Standart AO yöntemi ile tedavi edilen 3 hastanın kontrolünde sonuçlar 1 hastada iyi, 2 hastada orta iken modifiye AO yönteminin kullanıldığı 6 hastanın kontrolünde sonuçlar 2 olguda iyi, 3 olguda orta, 1 olguda kötü idi.
