Osteogenesis imperfecta is a disorder of abnormality in collagen metabolism due to genetic defects, which causes fragility fracture in children. Fragility fracture of the neck of femur can be difficult to treat in adults. The difficulties increase exponentially in children. The challenge becomes more severe when there is an intramedullary rod in situ in the femoral shaft. It is a technically demanding work to fix fracture caused by osteogenesis imperfecta. There is hardly any published study on the difficult fixation of fracture neck of femur in osteogensis imperfecta. Therefore, we present two cases using cannulated screw fixation for this type of fracture for the benefit of other orthopaedic surgeons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
