Femoral non-elongating rodding in osteogenesis imperfecta - The importance of purchasing epiphyseal plate

Conclusions: Less revision rate and better 3-year and 5-year survival rate were proved in the roddings that purchased epiphysis. We emphasize on using the precise implant length to purchase distal femoral epiphysis when non-elongating rod is the only available implant for fixation in children with OI.
