Overview
O.I with NOF fixed by Wagner technique and telescoping nail
Description
osteogenesis imperfecta (Sillence Type IV) sustained neck of femur fracture after fall on ground. He had proximal femoral anterolateral bowing on top of inserted rod 4 years ago. He was treated with corrective osteotomy and intramedullary telescoping nail for deformed femur and Wagner technique to fix NOF fracture. One year after operation the patient gained satisfactory functional outcome with union of NOF fracture and correction of femoral deformity. This rare case illustrates the anticipated difficulties in managing neck of femur fracture in osteogenesis imperfect patients. The method of fixation with Wagner technique can achieve stable fixation for solid healing in fragility fractures like this and the least interference with telescoping nail insertion.
