“…Bone union after long bone fracture is generally favorable, and conservative treatment methods such as indirect traction and casting are used in principle during infancy and the preschool period. After the preschool period, frequent fractures and markedly poor alignment are often indications for invasive internal fixation or correction by osteotomy [7,8]. Until the age of 3 years, this patient was also conservatively treated by casting for upper limb fracture and by traction for 2-4 weeks, followed by casting, for lower limb fracture.…”

Case A 4-year-old male with osteogenesis imperfecta fell 2 weeks earlier and developed cervical pain. He was brought to our hospital due to a lack of improvement in the symptoms. Cervical pain was absent at rest, but active and passive movements were impossible due to its presence. CT showed atlantoaxial rotatory fixation. Continuous indirect traction was performed with a 1-kg weight increasing up to 1.5 kg for a total of 3 weeks. Although cervical pain and limitations of the range of motion disappeared, a neck collar was applied as precaution for 2 weeks. Discussion Osteogenesis imperfecta accompanied by atlantoaxial rotatory fixation rarely occurs. There has been no report of preschool children with this condition. In our patient with osteogenesis imperfecta showing bone fragility, falling could have induced cervical fracture, but he was not subjected to an external force causing fracture, and as a result, joint laxity may have induced atlantoaxial rotatory fixation.

“…Even though the results are better for elongating rods, there is a concern that the insertion of the fixed T-piece component requires exposure of the knee joint. 9 Although other techniques 10,11 have been developed to avoid arthrotomy, long-term results for these devices are not yet available. This is not a concern when nonelongating rods are used.…”

Osteogenesis imperfecta: an overview

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a metabolic bone disorder commonly encountered in orthopaedic practice within the context of a multidisciplinary team. Although relatively rare, it is among the most researched of the skeletal dysplasias, making it challenging for the general orthopaedic surgeon to keep abreast with current evidence. The aim of this review article is to provide a comprehensive overview of OI for the general orthopaedic surgeon. It touches on the relevant epidemiology, pathology and clinical aspects of the condition. A discussion of the background and current topical issues surrounding the classification systems, and the medical and orthopaedic management aspects follows. The main focus of this review is on the peri-operative orthopaedic care of the appendicular musculoskeletal system. We trust it will equip the general orthopaedic surgeon with concise, up-to-date and relevant information to efficiently manage affected patients and caregivers in South Africa.
