  • Title: [Expanding intramedullary rods in the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta (author's transl)].
    Author: Finidori G, Rigault P, Padovani JP, Bensahel H.
    Journal: Rev Chir Orthop Reparatrice Appar Mot; 1979 Jun; 65(4):235-42. PubMed ID: 160063.
    Abstract:
    Eleven cases of osteogenesis imperfecta were treated by corrective osteotomies and fixation with expanding intramedullary rods. The authors have used the Bailey-Dubow nail. Despite a short follow-up (average one year) they think that the device will avoid future repeated changes of rods during the growing period. Several technical pitfalls are described. It is thought that the same technique could be applied to congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia.
