Surgical Principles in Treating Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Multicenter Series of Deformity Correction Using Guided Growth in the Setting of Osteogenesis Imperfecta

“…[16][17][18] Guided growth has also been reported in the setting of various skeletal dysplasias [19][20][21] and as a case report in the setting of OI. 22 To date, to our knowledge, there is no report of a series of deformity correction by growth modulation in the setting of OI. We report a multicenter case series of lower extremity deformity correction with growth modulation about the knee and ankle.…”

Bilateral Distal Radius Fractures in a Patient with Osteogenesis Imperfecta

“…Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a disease of abnormal collagen formation resulting in immature woven bone with a poor lamellar structure and frequent fractures 1 . Fracture initiation and propagation occur with reduced loading forces that are common in minor trauma and, for some patients, result in reduced mobility and function 2 . The lifetime rate of forearm fracture is more than 20% in large population studies 3 .…”

“…Although forearm fractures in patients with OI have been reported and treated with various techniques 2 including nonoperative management, external fixator placement, intramedullary nailing, and open reduction and internal fixation, there is a scarcity or absence of reports on the treatment of distal radius fractures for patients with severe OI in the literature. The authors recently treated an adult patient with OI and concurrent acute bilateral distal radius fractures.…”
