Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder caused by mutation of collagen which results in a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations including long bone fragility fractures and deformities. While the treatment for these fractures was recommended as using intramedullary fixation for minimizing stress concentration, the selection of the best implant in the adolescent OI patients for the surgical reconstruction of femur was still problematic, due to anatomy distortion and implant availability. We are reporting the surgical modification by using a humeral nail for femoral fixation in three adolescent OI patients with favorable outcomes.
成骨不全症(OI)是一种罕见的遗传性结缔组织疾病,由胶原蛋白突变引起,可导致广泛的临床表现,包括长骨脆性骨折和畸形。虽然对于这些骨折的治疗建议采用髓内固定以尽量减少应力集中,但由于解剖结构变形和植入物的可获得性,在青少年OI患者中选择最佳植入物进行股骨手术重建仍然存在问题。我们报告了在三名青少年OI患者中使用肱骨钉进行股骨固定的手术改良方法,取得了良好的效果。
