Article Abstract
Case: A 15-year-old girl known with osteogenesis imperfecta presented with left femoral pain. She had been treated with multiple Fassier-Duval intramedullary nails, which were still in situ. Radiographic imaging demonstrated focal osteolysis and periosteal reaction at the telescopic junction of the rod in the distal femur. She underwent implant removal. Intraoperative sampling demonstrating acute sterile inflammation and presence of brownish colored particles consistent with metal debris and osteolysis. Explant analysis confirmed corrosion of the stainless-steel telescopic nail as the underlying cause.
Conclusion: Osteolysis and periosteal reaction because of corrosion should be considered in conjunction with other more common causes of pain, such as fracture or infection, in patients treated with telescopic intramedullary nails.

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a connective tissue disease that is the most common genetic cause of osteoporosis and is characterized by deformities and fractures in long bones. This disease occurs due to the deficiency of Type 1 collagen. Orthopedically, it is aimed to treat and prevent deformities and fractures in the extremities.

Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is characterized by bone fragility and deformities. Treating long bone fractures and deformities in OI patients typically involves intramedullary (IM) rods. The Simple Locking Intramedullary (SLIM) nail is a novel surgical device developed to address challenges in patients with narrow medullary canals, which are unsuitable for larger telescoping rods.

Objectives: Altered hip biomechanics following intertrochanteric fracture fixation can result in impaired mobility, decreased functional outcomes, and a reduced quality of life. Despite achieving optimal reduction and fixation, patients often fail to regain their pre-injury activity levels. This study aims to evaluate how changes in hip biomechanics after intertrochanteric fracture fixation using a proximal femoral nail impact the quality of life.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by bone fragility and reduced bone mass. This retrospective study analyzed 42 cases of OI treated at the pediatric traumatology and orthopedics department over a 13-year period. The study aimed to examine the clinical and radiological aspects associated with osteosynthesis, particularly telescopic nailing, in these patients.

: Effective postoperative pain management is essential in femoral limb lengthening surgery. Although regional nerve blocks reduce pain and opioid use, their benefit in antegrade femoral intramedullary limb lengthening is unclear. This study compares postoperative pain and opioid consumption in patients receiving general anesthesia (GA) alone versus GA with a preoperative femoral or fascia iliaca nerve block.
