Retrograde Insertion of a SLIM Nail in a Femur in a Patient with Osteogenesis Imperfecta
摘要
This is a case of a 17-year-old female patient with a severe form of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type IV who had multiple previous surgeries of the lower limbs to correct deformities and treat fractures. She had a BMI of 42. She presented with right femur fracture below a retained Kirschner-type wire implant. This fracture was treated successfully via retrograde application of the SLIM (Simple Locking IntraMedullary nail by Pega Medical, Laval, Canada).
