Sažetak
The treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta should be multidisciplinary and personalized. The best option for surgical treatment is implantation of an intramedullary telescopic nail, in many specialized hospitals the preferable method is Fassier-Duval telescopic nail. The main advantages of the Fassier-Duval intramedullary nail are fewer surgical scars, reduced blood loss, decreased time of operation, less pain, and better postoperative mobility. Orthopedic surgeons who are dealing with osteogenesis imperfecta have to answer two main questions, i.e. when to start with surgical procedures and which type of intramedullary nailing to use. There are a few things that are necessary for a satisfactory outcome of the surgical procedure: precise preoperative planning, all sizes of FassierDuval nail available in the operating room during the surgery, and intraoperative radiologic C-arm guidance.
