Applicability of polyamide 12 intramedullary locked rods in the stabilization of induced humeral fracture in cockerels (white plymouth rock) - in vivo study [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of polyamide 12 intramedullary rods in osteotomized humerus in cockerels (White Plymouth Rock) and analyze, by radiography and histopathology, bone consolidation and the formation of bone callus.

Percutaneous rotational osteotomy of the femur utilizing an intramedullary rod [PDF]
The purpose is to describe the technique and report the results and complications of percutaneous femoral rotational osteotomy, secured with a trochanteric-entry, locked intramedullary rod, in adolescents with femoral anteversion. Our series comprised an IRB approved, retrospective, consecutive series of 85 osteotomies (57 patients), followed to ...

Breakage of Intramedullary Femoral Guide Rod during Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Case Report [PDF]
We report a rare complication during primary total knee arthroplasty. An intramedullary femoral guide rod was broken during insertion. The broken part jammed into the isthmus of the femur.

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 ...

Closed intramedullary rodding for osteogenesis imperfecta [PDF]
Three cases of severe osteogenesis imperfecta are reported. Each was treated by closed intramedullary rodding, combined with osteoclasis to correct deformity. Operation was performed within a few months of birth. Both tibiae and both femora were stabilised in one operation, using x-ray image intensification to monitor placement of the rods.

A Multicenter Study of Intramedullary Rodding in Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a heritable connective tissue disorder with wide clinical variability, predisposes to recurrent fractures and bone deformity. Management requires a multidisciplinary approach in which intramedullary rodding plays an important role, especially for moderate and severe forms.
