Has anyone come across a pediatric distal femur IO trainer anywhere or built one themselves?
Thanks!

Yes, use a raw chicken drumstick.
ETA: However, I have only heard of mid-tibial placement for young Pediatric patients.

It’s a manufacturer approved site. I personally prefer it over proximal tibia for its ease of locating.
