Secondary intramedullary nailing after distraction osteogenesis30 patients followed for 2–12 years

Abstract: We believe that intramedullary nailing during the consolidation phase after bone lengthening or bone transport is a treatment option for delayed callus maturation or docking site nonunion, reducing prolonged use of the external fixator.

“…Their research showed that this scheme could shorten the time in external fixator and solve the problem of docking site nonunion, but the patient should be informed of the risk of infection recurrence in advance. Lambiris et al found that it was a good choice to replace the external frame with an intramedullary nail when docking site nonunion, angular deformity of the transport segment or intolerance of the external fixator occurred [ 24 ]. A prospective study by Xiayimaierdan et al displayed that in the treatment of large segmental bone defects, bone graft and internal fixation after bone transport could promote healing, improve joint functions and reduce complications [ 25 ].…”

“…Although the shortening and re-lengthening technique can also reduce the external fixation index, external fixation is still required during both the re-lengthening and consolidation periods, resulting in a long time in frame 8 . Several scholars have demonstrated that the technique of first BT followed by nailing is a good option for patients with segmental bone defects 10 , 11 . However, this technique often necessitates bone grafting, which additionally increases the patient’s trauma.…”

“…Η χρήση ενός εμφανιστεί μέχρι και 4 έτη μετά την ήλωση. Για την αντιμετώπισή της προτείνεται αφαίρεση του ενδομυελικού ήλου και τοποθέτηση για 6 εβδομάδες ενδομυελικού spacer με αντιβιοτικό [151,152,153].…”
