The main purpose of this clinical study was to assess implant bio-integration at 1-year follow-up.CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates safe bio-integration of the newly developed fiber-reinforced implant at 1-year follow-up without negative side effects. Copyright (c) 2021. Published by Elsevier Ltd.METHODS: Twenty-four patients, previously treated for a Hammertoe deformity using the bio-integrative, fiber-reinforced implant, were enrolled in this follow-up study. One-year follow-up included clinical examination, patient reported outcomes, radiographs, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and bio-integration scoring.RESULTS: Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) radiographic fusion rate was 92% (n = 22). MRI was analyzed for 24 (100%) patients. In 100% of patients (n = 24), the border between implant and surrounding tissue was scored as partially visible. There were no cyst formation or fluid accumulation findings. Mild bone edema was detected in 29% (n = 7) and is attributed to the chronic distribution of forces due to chronic abnormal gait and pasture. None of the edema findings were considered as adverse implant-related finding. The mean bio-integration score was 7.71 +/- 0.46.Fiscal year: FY2022Digital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2021-07-26Item type | Current library | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
