Case Series to Evaluate Patient Specific Implants (PSI) in Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) Performance After 2 Years - Full Text View

Purpose

The primary objective of this retrospective study is to evaluate the percentage of patients with device related adverse events (infection, rejection, dislocation, fracture of the implant) in the first 24 months after implantation.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Device related adverse events [ Time Frame: 0-24 months post initial implantation ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Percentage of patients with the following device related adverse events:
- infection
- rejection
- dislocation
- fracture

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Explantation [ Time Frame: 0 months - study visit at least 24 months after implantation (or scheduled up to 3 months after the study visit) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Explantation, as a result of a device-related adverse event or for another reason
Cosmetic result [ Time Frame: surgery - at discharge ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Evaluation of the cosmetic result by the surgeon by means of a VAS 0-100, immediately after the surgery or until the patient was discharged from the hospital (any timepoint available)
Cosmetic result [ Time Frame: at the study visit, which is at least 24 months after implantation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Evaluation of the cosmetic result by the surgeon by means of a VAS 0-100, during the study visit, at least 24 months after implantation (see inclusion criteria)
Clinical result [ Time Frame: surgery - at discharge ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Evaluation of the clinical result by the surgeon by means of a VAS 0-100, immediately after the surgery or until the patient was discharged from the hospital (any timepoint available)
Clinical result [ Time Frame: At the study visit, which is at least 24 months after implantation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Evaluation of the cosmetic result by the surgeon by means of a VAS 0-100, during the study visit, at least 24 months after implantation (see inclusion criteria)
Pressure sensitivity [ Time Frame: At the study visit, which is at least 24 months after implantation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Evaluation of the pressure sensitivity by the patient (or next of kin appreciation in case of severe disability) by means of a VAS 0-100, during the study visit, at least 24 months after implantation (see inclusion criteria)
Heat / cold sensitivity [ Time Frame: At the study visit, which is at least 24 months after implantation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Evaluation of the heat/cold sensitivity by the patient (or next of kin appreciation in case of severe disability) by means of a VAS 0-100, during the study visit, at least 24 months after implantation (see inclusion criteria)
Cosmetic result [ Time Frame: At the study visit, which is at least 24 months after implantation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Evaluation of the cosmetic result by the patient (or next of kin in case of severe disability) by means of a VAS 0-100, during the study visit, at least 24 months after implantation (see inclusion criteria)
Event-free survival [ Time Frame: 0 months - at the study visit, which is at least 24 months after implantation ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Number of months of event-free survival, in terms of device related adverse events:
- Infection (superficial and/or deep) [Time frame 0 months - study visit]
- Rejection of the implant [Time frame 0 months - study visit]
- Dislocation of the implant [Time frame 0 months - study visit]
- Fracture of the implant [Time frame 0 months - study visit]
