Based on the 5 cases and assuming a 7% or 10% discontinuation rate, the annual incidence is 4.9 (95% confidence interval[CI] 2.1-11.4) or 5.3 (95% CI 2.3-12.4) per 10,000 patient years. The incidence of microbial keratitis in children wearing overnight orthokeratology is lower than a previous United States study and similar to rates associated with use of daily wear soft contact lenses. The incidence of microbial keratitis in children wearing overnight orthokeratology is lower than a previous United States study and similar to rates associated with use of daily wear soft contact lenses. To examine the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy for the prevention of heterotopic ossification (HO) about the elbow. Retrospective chart review. Level 1 Trauma Center. Two hundred and twenty-nine patients who received prophylactic radiotherapy (XRT) over a 15 year period were identified. Patients were included if they received XRT to the elbow joint and had at least 12 weeks of follow up after XRT. Fifty-four patients were ultimately included. All patients were treated with a single dose of 7 Gy. 98% of patients received XRT within 24 hours after surgery, and all patients received XRT within 72 hours after surgery. The primary study measures evaluated were the presence or absence of clinically symptomatic HO and the presence of radiographic HO after XRT to the elbow joint. Eighteen patients were treated with XRT after a traumatic injury requiring surgery (primary prophylaxis), and 36 were treated with XRT after excision surgery to remove HO which had already formed (secondary prophylaxis). In the primary cohort, 16.7% developed symptomatic HO after XRT, and 11.1% required surgery to resect heterotopic bone. In the secondary cohort, 11.1% developed symptomatic HO after surg
