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

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

Femoral Shaft Nonunion Treated by a Fluted Intramedullary Rod

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1985
Twenty-five consecutive nonunions or delayed unions of the femoral shaft were treated by a fluted intramedullary rod. Fourteen patients were men; 11 were women. Sixteen fractures represented failures of closed management. Five patients had failures of primary open reduction and internal fixation. Four patients had had one attempt at operative treatment

Closed Intramedullary Rodding of Pathologic Fractures with Supplemental Cement

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1984
Internal fixation, supplemented with methylmethacrylate to fill bone defects, is the standard treatment for pathologic fractures. Unfortunately, internal fixation procedures often entail substantial blood loss and a not inconsequential risk of infection, problems with which the debilitated patient is poorly able to cope.

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.

Closed intramedullary rodding of pediatric adolescent forearm fractures

Operative Techniques in Orthopaedics, 1993
There are few indications for operative fixation of diaphyseal forearm fractures in children. When indicated, fixation can be achieved easily and with low morbidity by placing an intramedullary rod in one or both of the fractured bones. Fixation is not rigid, so external immobilization is required.
