RE: Leg Fractures (Tibia and Fibula)
Always putting up the best to educate us all..
Does the hospital currently have enough resources to put in intramedullar pens? (actually I hate setting up these procedures, but the results are so beautifuls)
With the kids we mostly put TMS (TEN whatever you call it) in all of these kids of fractures
Unfortunately, my hospital does not have sufficient resources for the placement of flexible intramedullary titanium nails, but I have had the opportunity elsewhere to perform this type of procedure.
I hope that I will soon have one of these devices so noble and versatile, sometimes we use plates and remove them after 3 months after a proper consolidation to not alter the growth in children.
Kiss @karinxxl
Yeah an intstrument set of these is actually not even that super expensive..just always refilling the nails is costly.. And ofcourse a plate and screws is just as good, a bit more invasive only..but you will use those sets for so much other stuff as well, it is normal to only have that.
back in the caribbean we also mostly did everything with just standard AO small fragment
Absolutely true @karinxxl!
