The incidence of total hip replacement in orthognathic surgery patients receiving short-term steroid therapy

The clinical utility of steroids in facial trauma: A retrospective study of 638 patients

“…The relative risk was 1.0041 (0.9451, 1.0669) for corticosteroid group compared to placebo and that there was no significantly increased risk for infection. There has been a concern of developing avascular necrosis of bone after short term corticosteroid usage or dexamethasone >16 mg/day or methylprednisolone >85 mg. [19][20][21][22][23] A study by Precious et al, 24 however negated the fact that avascular necrosis occurred with a shorter duration of high dose of corticosteroids. In our study the total dexamethasone dosage administered was 68 mg till post-operative day 3.…”

66 Years of Corticosteroids in Dentistry: And We Are Still at a Cross Road?

“…Fortunately, Precious et al, found no evidence that this has occurred in the only study that reviewed the need of total hip replacement in 1276 orthognathic patients. They concluded that the use of systemic corticosteroids for short duration in orthognathic surgery is unlikely related to AVN of the femoral head and the attendant need for total hip replacement [50].…”

Effect of Steroids on Posttonsillectomy Pain in Adults

“…This type of protocol is believed to be safe in otherwise healthy patients. [7][8][9] There remains another equally large group of surgeons who believe that the addition of perioperative steroids increases the risk of complications without significantly improving morbidity.…”
