Fassier-Duval femoral rodding in children with osteogenesis imperfecta receiving bisphosphonates: functional outcomes at one year.
PURPOSE To examine the functional outcomes of children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) following initial Fassier-Duval (FD) rodding to the femur at 1 year, and to determine which factors are associated with change in gross motor function, ambulation, and functional performance. METHODS Approval from our Institutional Review Board was obtained. A retrospective chart review identified 60 chil...
متن کاملFemoral neck fractures in osteogenesis imperfecta treated with bisphosphonates
PURPOSE Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a condition characterised by bone fragility and multiple fractures, which cause considerable morbidity in the affected patients. Most cases are associated with mutations in one of the type I collagen genes. Recently, bisphosponates have been used widely to reduce pain and the incidence of fragility fractures in OI in children, even though there have been ...
متن کاملClosed intramedullary rodding for osteogenesis imperfecta.
Three cases of severe osteogenesis imperfecta are reported. Each was treated by closed intramedullary rodding, combined with osteoclasis to correct deformity. Operation was performed within a few months of birth. Both tibiae and both femora were stabilised in one operation, using x-ray image intensification to monitor placement of the rods. The technique used to insert the rods is described. Th...
متن کاملExperience with bisphosphonates in osteogenesis imperfecta.
Until recently, medical management of osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic disorder of reduced bone mass and frequent fractures, was elusive, and treatment was focused on maximizing mobility and function. The introduction of bisphosphonates for the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta 14 years ago changed this paradigm. Cyclic intravenous pamidronate therapy leads to an increase in bone density a...
متن کاملInitial Experience With Percutaneous IM Rodding of the Humeri in Children With Osteogenesis Imperfecta.
BACKGROUND To report a single-center surgical experience treating humeral deformity and fractures in children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) using the Fassier-Duval (FD) intramedullary elongating rods. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted between December 2005 and July 2013 of all OI patients who underwent FD rodding with a minimum of 1-year follow-up. All patients were also being ...
