Abstract |
This paper describes two different techniques for removal of broken Precice Stryde intramedullary bone lengthening nails, which unlike trauma nails are solid containing mechanical components. Consequently, surgeons face unique challenges when these implants brake within medullary canal. Here, we present our surgical approach for removal of three broken implants. In one patient (46kg) both Ø10mm femoral Stryde implants (max. weight allowance 68kg) broke through the proximal locking screw hole preoperatively on the right side and intraoperatively on the left side (413 and 504 days after index surgery respectively). The third Ø11.5 femoral nail broke through the area containing the magnet (55kg patient, 325 days after index surgery).
