Efficacy of Hematoma Block After Intramedullary Rod Fixation of Femoral Shaft Fractures: A Prospective, Double-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial

Journal of Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2023
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of an intraoperative, postfixation fracture hematoma block on postoperative pain control and opioid consumption in patients with acute femoral shaft fractures.

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.

Intramedullary Rodding in Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2000
The results of intramedullary rodding of long bones of 16 children with osteogenesis imperfecta, over a 10-year period, were analyzed. Sheffield elongating rods or non-elongating rods were used. The frequency of fractures was dramatically reduced after implantation of either type of rod, and the ambulatory status improved in all instances.

Antibiotic-coated Intramedullary Rod

The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery, 2009
Surgical reconstruction for limb salvage is an acceptable and often preferred treatment for patients who are facing potential amputation. Because of the invasive nature of these surgeries, complications such as infection are not uncommon. Osseous infection at the site of implantable hardware may result in a tremendous consequence to the patient.

Retrieval and analysis of intramedullary rods.

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1981
We examined ten intramedullary rods of similar design after routine retrieval from patients. Of these ten rods, four were found to exhibit cracking around their proximal third. This behavior could not be attributed to the surgical techniques employed or to the length of time in vivo of these rods.

A fluted intramedullary rod for subtrochanteric fractures.

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1979
A new intramedullary rod has been developed for the treatment of subtrochanteric fractures. The stepped fluted rod is designed as a single unit and has exceptional bending strength and rigidity as well as excellent torsional load-carrying capacity. It has been used successfully in eighteen patients with a variety of subtrochanteric fractures. Union was

Elongating intramedullary rods in the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1977
Patients with osteogenesis imperfecta who have undergone multiple osteotomies with realignment and intramedullary rod fixation of a deformed bone frequently require replacement of the rod because the bone grows and angulates when the rod no longer is long enough to support the bone from metaphysis to metaphysis.

Assessment of Bone Healing During Antegrade Intramedullary Rod Femur Lengthening Using Radiographic Pixel Density

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2018
Introduction: Premature full weight bearing after femur lengthening can lead to implant failure, telescopic nail shortening, and regenerate fracture. This study aimed at performing a retrospective analysis of the correlation between pixel density ratio ...

Biomechanical Comparison of Locking Compression Plate and Limited Contact Dynamic Compression Plate Combined with an Intramedullary Rod in a Canine Femoral Fracture-Gap Model.

Veterinary surgery, 2016
OBJECTIVE To compare the biomechanical properties of locking compression plate (LCP) and a limited contact dynamic compression plate combined with an intramedullary rod (LC-DCP-R) in a cadaveric, canine, femoral fracture-gap model.

Percutaneous intramedullary rod interchange in osteogenesis imperfecta

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1987
This paper describes the design, development and early surgical experience with a stereotactic device to allow closed retrieval and interchange of intramedullary rods in children with osteogenesis imperfecta. This relatively atraumatic procedure may allow more frequent rod interchange than with other techniques, lessening the likelihood of deformity ...
