Internal fixation of the femur in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta
Abstract:
The operation of fragmentation and intramedullary rod fixation of the femur with an extensible device has proved valuable for children with osteogenesis imperfecta because it permits these children to remain ambulatory. The use of an extensible rather than a solid rod has greatly decreased the need for reoperation.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
