Significantly lower femoral neck growth in screw fixation of the asymptomatic contralateral hip in unilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis.

There is an ongoing debate on which fixation technique should be preferred for the prophylactic fixation of the asymptomatic contralateral hip in slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). In the case of Kirschner-wire (K-wire) fixation, there is a possibility of secondary loss of fixation because of longitudinal growth of the physis, whereas in screw fixation, physeal growth of the femoral neck might be impaired. The aim of this matched-pair study was to compare the longitudinal growth of the femoral neck in screw fixation versus K-wire fixation of the asymptomatic contralateral hip in SCFE.

Given that new oncology drugs are frequently involved in departures from the normal technology appraisal processes, the main objective of this article is to analyze these decision-making processes, as well as their impact on the regulation of new approaches to selecting novel drugs and the regulatory steps to deal with risk-sharing arrangements. This analysis was carried out by selecting two drugs, trastuzumab and imatinib, both agents being representive examples of the innovative targeted therapies introduced in the last decade, and by reviewing some international experiences (particularly those of Australia, England, and Wales, pioneers in the application of technology appraisals), centered mainly - but not exclusively - on these two drugs. The review of these experiences indicated that other concerns apart from efficiency are especially important in the evaluation of this type of innovations.
