Revision of Bilateral Tibial Fassier-Duval Rods in an Eleven Year Old Girl with Osteogenesis Imperfecta
摘要
This is a case of bilateral tibial bowing in an 11 year old girl with osteogenesis imperfecta type IV with telescopic Fassier-Duval rods in situ. Removal of bowed intramedullary implants is not straight forward. We describe the surgical technique in detail. Once the implants were removed, further osteotomies were performed and a more lateral entry point was used to reinsert each Fassier-Duval rod. This ensured the valgus deformity was fully corrected.
