Are Fassier-Duval Rods at Risk of Migration in Patients Undergoing Spine Magnetic Resonance Imaging?
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The Fassier-Duval (FD) rod is a stainless-steel device widely used to correct bone deformities and reduce the risk of fractures in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Since these are telescopic expandable rods, there has been a reluctance to perform magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with OI secondary to a theoretical risk of migration during the MRI scans. The primary aim of this study was to assess the risk of …
