This study provides the first estimated prevalence of implanted orthopedic fixation devices (e.g., pins or wires) among children in the United States, based on the Medical Device Implant Supplement to the 1988 National Health Interview Survey. The overall prevalence was 27 per 10,000 children younger than 18 years; prevalence was highest (59/10,000) among those aged 12 to 17 years. The lower extremities were the most frequent body site (43%) and injury was the leading specific reason for implantation (37%). Some (10%) were replacement implants.
本研究基于1988年《国家健康访谈调查》的医疗器械植入补充资料，首次估算了美国儿童中植入式骨科固定装置（如钢针或钢丝）的患病率。总体患病率为每10000名18岁以下儿童中有27例；12至17岁儿童的患病率最高（每10000名中有59例）。下肢是最常见的身体部位（43%），受伤是植入的主要具体原因（37%）。一些（10%）是置换植入物。
