The Intramedullary Compression Rod

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1977
The Kaessmann compression device was employed in 26 patients with fractures of the long bones. In 15 fractures of the tibia, prompt healing occurred, even in fractures in the distal one-fourth of the tibia. Most of these cases were treated without external plaster support, and were permitted early ambulation, with partial weight-bearing.

Pediatric Intramedullary Teratomas

Neuropediatrics, 2008
Teratomas account for 3% of all childhood tumors, with the majority occurring in the sacrococcygeal region and in the ovary. Intradural spinal teratomas are extremely rare dysembryogenetic tumors. Spinal cord teratomas may be extradural, intradural or intramedullary. Intramedullary ones are the least frequently seen.
