Telescoping Nail in Osteogenesis Imperfecta

"The implant used in this study is Fassier Duval type of telescoping nail.~The Fassier-Duval rod has certain advantages:~the design is dedicated to minimally invasive, ideally percutaneous, approaches sparing joint cartilage at implant positioning and removal. This reduces the risk of delayed growth and infection, with lower scar impact; instrumentation is much better than the very basic Dubow-Bailey instrumentation; maximum diameter is greater: 6.4 mm, compared to 5 mm for Bailey-Dubow; The length of the female part can be adapted, including intraoperatively. Precutting according to the surgeon's measurement can be adjusted intraoperatively with a dedicated circular saw with a diamond disc."
