description In situ pinning of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a standard procedure performed by pediatric orthopaedic surgeons. Different techniques and operative tables can be used to perform this procedure with similar outcomes. This paper aims to describe the specific technique utilized at our institution to decrease the waste of draping materials and time to provide the most efficient procedure, while potentially minimizing radiation exposure. Key Concepts: (1) Providers and institutions should aim to decrease unnecessary surgical waste and improve surgical efficiency. (2) We describe a fast draping technique that decreases waste and can be used for stable or unstable SCFE on a radiolucent flattop or fracture table. (3) The draping technique on a radiolucent table can easily be adapted for bilateral procedures.
