Patients were prospectively analyzed by clinical scores (Taft, Constant score [CS], numeric analog scale for pain) and AC-specific radiographs (AC distance, CC distance [CCD], relative CCD [rCCD; 100 \/ AC distance \u00d7 CCD]) at points of examination (preoperative and 6, 12, and 24 months). The minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) were assessed by the anchor-based method.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty-seven of 35 patients (mean age \u00b1 SD: 37.7 \u00b1 9.7 years) after cHP implantation and 29 of 38 patients (34.2 \u00b1 9.7 years) after dDBS implantation were continuously followed until the 24-month follow-up. All patients showed significantly increased scores after surgery as compared with preoperative status (all P &lt; .05). As compared with GI, GII had significantly better outcomes at 24 months (Taft: cHP = 9.4 \u00b1 1.7 vs dDBS = 10.9 \u00b1 1.1, P &lt; .05, MCID = 2.9; CS: cHP = 90.2 \u00b1 7.8 vs dDBS = 95.3 \u00b1 4.4, P &lt; .02, MCID = 16.6) and at 24 months for Rockwood IV\/V (Taft: cHP = 9.4 \u00b1 1.7 vs dDBS = 11.1 \u00b1 0.8, P &lt; .0005; CS: cHP = 90.1 \u00b1 7.7 vs dDBS = 95.5 \u00b1 3.1, P &lt; .04). Clinically assessed horizontal instability persisted in 18.52% (GI) and 6.89% (GII; P = .24).
