Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The extensible nail for treatment of children with brittle bones offers distinct advantages over the conventional rod. It appears to elongate with growth and thus obviates periodic replacement of the rod as the child grows. Complications have been few in this and other series. Recent modifications of the technique for the femur and tibia, and various changes in the original design, constitute significant improvements in the intramedullary nail method. |
