Hospitalization for computer-assisted hexapod ring fixation application - analyses of patient variability, peri-operative complications, hospital costs, and discharge status.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Computer-assisted hexapod ring fixation systems (HRF) are used for multiple conditions and in very diverse patient populations. This study analyzes perioperative outcomes following HRF application based on patient etiology and clinical presentation.

Methods

Data from patients in the Premier Hospital Billing Database between 2007-2019 undergoing HRF application were analyzed for the duration of patients' hospitalizations. Patients were grouped based on etiology: acquired deformity, arthrosis, congenital deformity, deep infection, infected nonunion, fracture, nonunion, and other post-operative complications. Demographics, comorbidities, operating room time (ORT), length of stay (LOS), peri-operative complications, and hospital costs were estimated using generalized
