Case: A child with Type IV Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) sustained a growth arrest of the distal femur after fixation of a left femur fracture with a Fassier-Duval expanding rod at 3 years old. Despite bar resection with fat interposition, the discrepancy progressed to 7.5 cm at maturity. Because the femur had grown to a sufficient diameter, he underwent successful lengthening with a magnetic intramedullary rod. Conclusion: Although it is a potential complication, growth arrest has not been reported in association with placement of an expanding nail in a child with osteogenesis imperfecta. This case illustrates this rare complication and treatment using a magnetic intramedullary rod. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
