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.

A Novel Rat Model of Intramedullary Tibia Fracture Fixation Using Polyetheretherketone Threaded Rod
Background: The rat fracture fixation models have been widely adopted, but current implant designs suffer from operational difficulty, massive soft-tissue dissection, and radiological intervention. The authors developed a new tibia fracture-healing model

Does Intramedullary Reaming in Total Knee Arthroplasty Increase Postoperative Bleeding? A Propensity Score–Matched Cohort Study [PDF]
Background: There is conflicting evidence about whether avoiding medullary canal reaming of the femur during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) reduces blood loss.

Analysis of Contoured Anatomic Plate Fixation versus Intramedullary Rod Fixation for Acute Midshaft Clavicle Fractures [PDF]
The recent trend has been toward surgical fixation of displaced clavicle fractures. Several fixation techniques have been reported yet it is unclear which is preferable. We retrospectively reviewed one hundred one consecutive patients with acute midshaft
