Objective.
In pursuance of thoroughly understanding and facilitating the evaluation of the radiological changes in the preloaded bone by Compliant Pre-Stress osseointegration (Compress Biomet, Warsaw, Indiana) a new staging method was created depicting four stages.
Methods.
Two cohorts (10 and 17 patients resp., not-receiving and receiving chemotherapy) were compared in terms of progression of osseointegration.
Based on the changes at the bone-metal interface seen on röntgenorgrams four stages were defined: stage 0: immediate postoperative status, no ingrowth, or noncalcified callus; stage 1: early mineralization, calcified callus; stage 2: mature mineralization; and stage 3: hypertrophy at the level of the pins.
Results.
There were no significant differences between the two cohorts.
Group 2, which was significantly younger than group 1 (p<0.001), presented a delayed initial rate of bone formation and reached stage 1 at 6 months instead of 3 months like group 1.
The children from the group 2 demonstrated a visible rebound ingrowth.
Conclusion.
Despite the fact that the staging fails to demonstrate a statistical difference, it is rather simple and can be used for future studies.
