The Use of SLIM (Simple Locking Intra Medullary) Nail in the Lower Extremities of Skeletally Immature Patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta
摘要
This chapter describes the use of the Simple Locking Intra Medullary (SLIM) nail system (Pega Medical, Laval, Quebec, Canada) in four skeletally immature patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). In all patients, the SLIM nail was used to stabilize the tibia or femur for different indications. This nail is a helpful tool to have for surgeons who treat patients with metabolic bone disorders who are known to have narrow medullary canal.
