Reactivating Sleeping Intramedullary Nail in a 16-Year-Old Female with Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia: A Case Report on Complications and Potential Solutions

This case report describes the reactivation of a MILLN in a patient with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. While nail reactivation has been previously described in the literature, to our knowledge, it has not been reported for treating complications arising from FD. In cases of mechanical complications, this approach can equalize leg length discrepancies and correct deformities, avoiding additional invasive surgeries and reducing healthcare costs. As this is an off-label treatment, preoperative consent from both the patient and the parents is required.
