After the doctor examined and inquired about the little girl, it was clear that she was diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta. Because the child had undergone genetic testing a few years ago and was diagnosed. The problem we are facing now is that the femur is fractured and the femur has become crooked after multiple fractures.

After discussion, the pediatric orthopedics team of Chenzhou First People's Hospital decided to choose the extended intramedullary nail fixation technology, a new technology in the treatment of pathological fractures of osteogenesis imperfecta in recent years. This technology has many advantages:
1, fixing fractures;
2, correcting the bending deformity of the femur;
3, strengthening the force strength of the bone and reducing the occurrence of fractures;
4, maintaining the force line and shape of the femur to avoid recurrence of limbs Deformity;
5, intramedullary needles can be extended as the child grows, without affecting the child's growth and development. The surgery involves cutting the curved femur into several sections and then stringing them together. The difficulty of the operation is that the intramedullary needle must pass from a fixed point on the proximal femur to the center point of the distal femur.
The pediatric orthopedics team of Chenzhou City First People's Hospital faced the difficulties and successfully completed the operation through the joint cooperation and joint efforts of the pediatric orthopedics department, anesthesiology department , and the operating room. This also brings good news to "Porcelain Dolls". From now on, "Porcelain Dolls" in Chenzhou City will be able to receive advanced treatment nearby without having to travel to Beijing, Shanghai and other places.
