Flexible Nail Treatment of Pediatric Both-Bone Forearm Fractures.

Although most pediatric both-bone forearm fractures are treated nonoperatively, some do require surgical fixation. This article and accompanying step-by-step technique video demonstrate intramedullary fixation of a both-bone forearm fractures in a 7-year-old boy.

Fassier-Duval Rods are Associated With Superior Probability of Survival Compared With Static Implants in a Cohort of Children With Osteogenesis Imperfecta Deformities.

Background: The survival of Fassier-Duval (FD) telescoping rods as compared with static implants in children affected by osteogenesis imperfecta is not well characterized. The purpose of this study was to compare risk of lower extremity implant failure in FD rods versus static implants.

Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from patients with osteogenesis imperfecta who underwent surgical treatment using either FD rods or static implants (Rush rods, flexible nails, or Steinmann pins) between 1995 and 2015.
