Fifty major complications occurred in 46 cases (21%): 17 hematomas (8%) treated by irrigation and debridement, 8 cases of HO requiring reoperation (4%), 7 deep infections (3%), 4 contractures (2%), 3 cases of delayed\u2010onset ulnar neuritis (1%), 2 cases of distal humeral avascular necrosis (1%), 2 tendon ruptures (1%), 2 cases of instability requiring reconstruction (1%), 2 postoperative fractures (1%), 1 intraoperative fracture (&lt;0.5%), 1 case of worsening of pre\u2010existing neuropathic pain (&lt;0.5%), and 1 permanent partial posterior interosseous nerve injury (&lt;0.5%). Of these 46 cases, the major complications occurred in 6 of the 41 (15%) performed arthroscopically, in 36 of the 158 (23%) performed open and in 4 of the 21 (17%) with combined (i.e. open + arthroscopic) HO removal. Preventive strategies, introduced to prevent hematomas and delayed\u2010onset ulnar neuritis, reduced the rate of major complications from 35% during the period from 1997 to 2005 to 10% during the period from 2006 to 2014 (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .0001).

Preventive strategies, such as avoiding raising skin flaps by using multiple separate incisions for open and prophylactic ulnar nerve decompression in arthroscopic cases, were developed during the study period. These strategies were monitored prospectively and found to be effective in preventing two\u2010thirds of the major complications needing reoperation with both open and arthroscopic HO
