What are the Benefits of Using Intramedullary Rods in Children?
Intramedullary rods offer several benefits for pediatric patients. They allow for early mobilization and weight-bearing, which can significantly reduce recovery time. The minimally invasive nature of the procedure also results in less scarring and decreased postoperative pain. Additionally, because these rods do not require extensive exposure of the fracture site, there is a reduced risk of infection.
