Femoral Valgus Correction Angle for the Intramedullary Alignment Rod Is Strongly Associated with Femoral Lateral Bowing in Japanese Patients with Varus Knee Osteoarthritis Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty [PDF]
Background. This study aimed to investigate factors, such as differences in femoral shape, that could affect the femoral valgus correction angle (VCA) for the intramedullary alignment rod (IM rod) by using a three-dimensional (3D) measurement system in ...

Intramedullary rod fixation of fibrous dysplasia without use of bisphosphonates. [PDF]
Purpose Controversy exists regarding approach to treatment of pediatric patients with fibrous dysplasia. Methods We retrospectively reviewed medical records of seven patients who were treated at our institution for fibrous dysplasia by intramedullary rod fixation without bisphosphonate supplementation. Results Seven patients with a total of ten fibrous

Flexible versus standard intramedullary rod in posterior stabilized primary total knee arthroplasty: protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Background In total knee arthroplasty (TKA) a flexible intramedullary rod can be used to account for sagittal bowing of the distal femur. Although patients report better post-operative functional outcome when the flexible rod was used, it is unknown how ...

The role of expanding intramedullary rods in osteogenesis imperfecta [PDF]
We report the results of using 83 expanding intramedullary rods in 24 children with osteogenesis imperfecta after a mean follow-up of five years three months. In all, 62% of the rods have expanded after one primary operation. Thirty-four additional operations were necessary; 11 for the correction of rotation or angulation deformities and 23 for ...
