Stainless-steel screws are commonly used for fragment fixation during periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) at our institutions. Titanium is reserved for patients with documented nickel allergies. Titanium screws possess a significantly lower Young's modulus than stainless steel and, therefore, potentially less resistance to physiologic loading. Thus, we hypothesized that the use of titanium screws might be associated with changes in acetabular correction prior to healing. The aim of this study was to compare the maintenance of acetabular correction following PAO using stainless-steel or titanium screws. A documented nickel allergy was confirmed with an allergy specialist. Patients' age at surgery, gender and BMI were collected. The lateral center-edge angle of Wiberg (LCEA), medial center-edge angle (MCEA), anterior wall index (AWI), posterior wall index (PWI) and Tönnis angle were measured. The delta value for radiographic parameters was calculated as the difference between values immediately post-operation and at 6 months post-operation. Only age at surgery (P < 0.001) and the pre-operative LCEA (P = 0.013) were significantly different between groups (Tables I and II). The remaining pre- and post-operative radiological measurements were similar (Table II). Comparison of delta values at 6 months follow-up indicated no significant differences between screw types (Table III). No patients in the titanium group had a trans-iliac retrograde screw included in their construct (P = 0.003). All patients healed from their osteotomies. The use of titanium screws in patients with an allergy to nickel was not associated with differences in acetabular correction or the rate of osseous union rates despite its lower inherent mechanical properties.
