Experiences with Lengthening of the Femur over an Intramedullary Rod
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 19561. The intramedullary rod has been used to control the alignment of the osteotomized fragments in twenty-three operations performed for the lengthening of the femur, and it has been found to be eminently satisfactory, eliminating many of the difficulties which were formerly encountered in maintaining the position of the osteotomized fragments. 2.

Use of an intramedullary rod for the treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia.
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1992The use of an intramedullary rod as described by Williams, combined with implantation of an autogenous bone graft, resulted in union of an established congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia in nine of ten patients. One patient needed additional bone-grafting before union occurred.

Brodsky type 3a Charcot destruction of the ankle is devastating to patients. The authors have surgically stabilized this deformity with the use of an intramedullary arthrodesis nail, and explore the usefulness of adjunctive application of a circular ...

Hyperplastic Callus Formation in Osteogenesis Imperfecta Following Intramedullary Rodding
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1984Hyperplastic callus formation has been reported in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta following fractures but not following intramedullary rodding. The present case is that of a child who developed massive hyperplastic callus following osteotomy and intramedullary rodding of all lower extremity bones.

Closed Treatment of Femoral Fractures with the Fluted Sampson Intramedullary Rod
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1980A technique of closed intramedullary rodding of femur fractures using a curved fluted Sampson rod under fluoroscopic control is presented. Seventy-nine patients have been treated by this technique over the past four years. In this series there have been no cases of nonunion. There was a 6.3 per cent infection rate. There were three nerve injuries.

Knee Arthrodesis Using Combined Intramedullary Rod and Plate Fixation
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1993Intramedullary arthrodesis of the knee is a satisfactory method for treating difficult salvage cases of infected arthroplasty, bone loss, and severe osteoporosis. In eight cases, a medial compression plate was routinely used for complete fixation. Union occurred in all cases, including two proximal tibial segmental allografts.

Complications of Rigid Intramedullary Rodding of Femoral Shaft Fractures in Children
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 2002Intramedullary rodding of femoral shaft fractures has been frequently performed in adults, but until recently rarely in children. It was the purpose of this study to investigate the experience with this treatment method at a pediatric trauma center.From 1987 to 1998, 54 children were treated for traumatic femoral fractures with intramedullary rods at a

Novel Venting Technique for Intramedullary Rod Fixation of Pathologic Fractures
Orthopedics, 2011This article introduces a novel technique to vent the femur and potentially decrease the embolic load created by reaming during intramedullary rod fixation of impending pathologic femur fractures. We used readily available operating room equipment to create a distal femoral vent hole without interfering with standard intramedullary instrumentation and ...

Premature Greater Trochanteric Epiphysiodesis Secondary to Intramedullary Femoral Rodding
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1993Five skeletally immature patients developed premature closure of the greater trochanteric physis consequent to placement of an intramedullary rod for primary treatment of a femoral diaphyseal fracture. Each patient developed increased femoral neck valgus as compared with the contralateral hip.
