Management of Osteogenesis Imperfecta: A Multidisciplinary Comprehensive Approach

ABSTRACT

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is characterized by recurring fractures and limb and spine deformities. With the advent of medical therapeutics and the discovery of causative genes, as well as the introduction of a newly devised intramedullary rod, the general condition and ambulatory function of patients diagnosed with OI have been improved over the past decades. This review covers recent developments in research and management of OI.
