Pediatric Orthopaedic Implant Safety & Efficacy

Hip Disease | Orthopedic Disorder | Fracture | Pediatric ALL | Implant Complication | Hip Dysplasia | Hip...

Implant devices are important tools - their use is essential across a number of orthopaedic indications, including hip conditions, trauma and limb deformity.

Given the vital role fixation devices play in maintaining alignment, promoting healthy bone healing and preventing joint degeneration, it is essential to understand the expected lifetime outcomes of these implants, and evaluate their safety and efficacy.

Prospective implant efficacy and safety registries are needed to support this endeavour, especially considering new regulatory requirements from the European Union Medical Devices Regulation (EU MDR) in relation to post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF).
