Osteogenesis Imperfecta

In this video, Jeanne M. Franzone, MD, discussed results that showed supplemental plate and screw constructs can be effective in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta undergoing intramedullary rodding.

A cohort of children presenting with increased bone fragility and no extraskeletal signs of osteogenesis imperfecta tended to have a collection of common gene variants that predispose to osteoporotic fracture rather than a monogenic etiology of their condition, according to findings published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.
