Résumé
Resorbable plates are commonly used in cranial vault reconstruction surgery. There are few published papers examining their safety profile. The authors examined the prevalence of wound complications associated with the use of resorbable plates (Inion CPS Fixation System) in pediatric patients undergoing cranial vault reconstruction. A retrospective review of patients (n = 182) who underwent cranial vault reconstruction using resorbable plate fixation was undertaken. All procedures were performed by a single Craniofacial Surgeon at the National Pediatric Craniofacial Center from 2008 to 2016. Wound complications were identified from a prospectively maintained database and medical note review. Several key patient characteristics and surgical variables were also recorded and tested for associations with wound complications. A total of 58.8% (107 of 182) of patients were male with a median age at surgery of 16.2 months. Overall, 12.1% (22 of 182) experienced a postoperative wound complication requiring hospital admission. A total of 2.73% (5 of 182) of the patients that returned to theatre had remnants of plates removed. The authors had a mean time from primary operation to secondary reoperation of 103 days. In univariate statistical analysis, females were more likely to develop a wound complication. However, in stratified analyses excluding patients with an underlying genetic syndrome, increasing age, and lower weight but not gender were associated with wound complications. A 12.1% (22 of 182) wound complication rate with the use of the Inion CPS Fixation System was observed. Inion plates appear to have an equivalent safety profile to other fixation devices. Increasing age and lower weight were associated with an increased risk of wound complications in nonsyndromic patients.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Resorbable plates are commonly used in cranial vault reconstruction surgery. There are few published papers examining their safety profile. The authors examined the prevalence of wound complications associated with the use of resorbable plates (Inion CPS Fixation System) in pediatric patients undergoing cranial vault reconstruction.
METHODS
METHODS
A retrospective review of patients (n = 182) who underwent cranial vault reconstruction using resorbable plate fixation was undertaken. All procedures were performed by a single Craniofacial Surgeon at the National Pediatric Craniofacial Center from 2008 to 2016. Wound complications were identified from a prospectively maintained database and medical note review. Several key patient characteristics and surgical variables were also recorded and tested for associations with wound complications.
RESULTS
RESULTS
A total of 58.8% (107 of 182) of patients were male with a median age at surgery of 16.2 months. Overall, 12.1% (22 of 182) experienced a postoperative wound complication requiring hospital admission. A total of 2.73% (5 of 182) of the patients that returned to theatre had remnants of plates removed. The authors had a mean time from primary operation to secondary reoperation of 103 days. In univariate statistical analysis, females were more likely to develop a wound complication. However, in stratified analyses excluding patients with an underlying genetic syndrome, increasing age, and lower weight but not gender were associated with wound complications.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
A 12.1% (22 of 182) wound complication rate with the use of the Inion CPS Fixation System was observed. Inion plates appear to have an equivalent safety profile to other fixation devices. Increasing age and lower weight were associated with an increased risk of wound complications in nonsyndromic patients.
