Hyperplastic Callus Formation in Osteogenesis Imperfecta Following Intramedullary Rodding

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1984
Hyperplastic 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, 1980
A 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.

Smart Intramedullary Rod for Correction of Pediatric Bone Deformity

Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research, 2004
We were interested in determining if a smart intramedullary rod made of nitinol shape-memory alloy is capable of correcting deformed immature long bones. Because of limitations in our study design the process was reversed in that we examined the smart rod's ability to create a deformity rather than to correct one.

Premature Greater Trochanteric Epiphysiodesis Secondary to Intramedullary Femoral Rodding

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1993
Five 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.

Knee Fusion with Intramedullary Rods for Failed Total Knee Arthroplasty

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1985
Knee fusion was obtained after failed total knee arthroplasty with the aid of internal fixation by use of intramedullary rods. The method has been used in eight cases, including difficult situations characterized by morbid obesity, segmental fractures, and loss of bone stock.

Novel Venting Technique for Intramedullary Rod Fixation of Pathologic Fractures

Orthopedics, 2011
This 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 ...

Complications of Rigid Intramedullary Rodding of Femoral Shaft Fractures in Children

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 2002
Intramedullary 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

Knee Arthrodesis Using Combined Intramedullary Rod and Plate Fixation

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1993
Intramedullary 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.

Paradoxical Fat Embolism After Intramedullary Rodding: A Case Report

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2001
Following intramedullary rodding of two long-bone fractures, a twenty-year-old woman developed the clinical picture of fat embolism syndrome with severe neurological involvement. Corroborating evidence suggested paradoxical embolization of fat as the precipitating cause of this neurologic deterioration.
