Description
Andreea Moga, Bogdan Popescu, and Ruxandra Caragata review telescopic rodding of the lower limb in children with osteogenesis imperfecta, in a review paper from 2026. The disorder makes bones fragile, with the mild type causing repeat fractures without deformity at first. Rods inside the bone support it, and a telescopic rod grows with the child, now the standard choice.
Evidence from cohorts and a recent pooled review shows fewer revisions and longer implant life than fixed rods. Complication rates stay high, though, led by rod migration and failed telescoping. Young age and off-center placement raise migration risk. Evidence for the mild type alone is thin. The review guides surgical planning.
