HIF - clinical studies Flashcards
1
Q
Hattersley VS 2011
57 prophylactic transcondylar screws
A
60% complication rate
-30% seroma, 30% SSI, 2% implant failure
2
Q
Carwardine JSAP 2021
Retrospective
Fluoro guided transcondylar screws for HIF 82
A
45% complication rate - 15% rv sx (implant failure, SSI)
Complications more likely in the earlier cases and increasing BWT
3
Q
Jenkins VS 2022
Retrospective
88 HIF with transcondylar screws
A
11% medial epicondylar fissures with ML screws - low clinical sig
28% copmlication - screw loosening most common and was the only complication with medial epicondylar fissures
Larger screw increased risk of fissure (recommended <41% of height of condyle)
