ABSTRACT
CASE A 1-week-old female patient presented to our clinic with bilateral dislocated hips and was subsequently treated in a Pavlik harness. Harness treatment failed requiring a closed reduction and spica cast application. In the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), the patient was found to have a right humerus fracture. Six weeks after cast application, the patient was found to have nondisplaced bilateral femur fractures prompting a genetics evaluation. The patient was subsequently found to have osteogenesis imperfecta type 3. CONCLUSION:
Perioperative fractures in pediatric patients should raise suspicion for osteogenesis imperfecta. Early diagnosis can improve the management of hip dysplasia and allow for early bisphosphonate therapy.
