BIOMECHANICS OF THE KUNTSCHER INTRAMEDULLARY ROD

1982
ABSTRACT A kuntscher intramedullary rod has been instrumented with load and deflection cells to allow measurement of anterior-posterior bending, as well as compressive forces on the rod during insertion into cadaver femur specimens. Calibration of the devices has shown that high sensitivity (1.6 N/mv), linearity (± 2 %) and low crosstalk (> 8 ...

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.

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.

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.

Complications of Intramedullary Rods in Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1988
Twenty-nine patients with osteogenesis imperfecta underwent 108 intramedullary roddings with 42 Bailey-Dubow rods and 66 nonelongating rods. The average age at insertion of the first rod was 5 years; average follow-up was 3.1 years (range 1-9 years). The overall complication rate was 60%-69% for Bailey-Dubow rods and 55% for nonelongating rods.

Retrieval and Analysis of Intramedullary Rods

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1984
From 1980 to 1983, 16 AO intramedullary femoral rods were retrieved and analyzed clinically, radiographically, and metallurgically. Cracking and/or fracture was observed in four of the 16 specimens. All cracks occurred at the point of maximum stress at the end of the slot. In two cases a structurally weaker weld zone coincided with this location.

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.

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.

Endosteal Substitution With an Intramedullary Rod in Fractures of the Femur

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2018
Background:Morbid obesity and segmental fracture/bone loss are challenging problems in the treatment of fractures and nonunions of the distal femur. The use of an intramedullary rod as an endosteal substitute for a deficient medial cortex along with a lateral locked plate is 1-tool to combat these problems. This article describes the technique used and

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 ...
