Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of pediatric patients implanted a novel 4.5 mm wide laser ablated titanium bone anchored implant system and to evaluate the implant stability over the first 12-month period.
Study Design: A prospective, single-subject, repeated measure, cohort study.
Objectives: To evaluate complication rates and resonance frequency analysis (RFA) of the stability of a new laser-ablated titanium Bone Anchored hearing Implant system in children with Down syndrome.
Methods: A prospective, single-subject, repeat measure, cohort study in which each participant served as their own control. Consecutive paediatric patients 4yrs- 15 years old, with a primary diagnosis of Down syndrome (trisomy 21) were implanted between January 2015-January 2020 with BHX Oticon wide implants.
Objectives: The Oticon™ wide implant system was launched in 2009 and used at Birmingham Children's Hospital from 2014. To evaluate clinical outcomes of the Oticon™ wide implant (Oticon Medical), with a focus on skin complication rates and fixture loss over a 5-year period in a tertiary paediatric hospital in the UK.
Methods: Retrospective 5-year longitudinal case record review of 47 children who were implanted with the Oticon™ wide implant system at Birmingham Children's Hospital (BCH) between January 2014 and January 2016.
