Ddx- OI, Battered baby syndrome, rickets , osteomalacia.
Work up-
Medical imaging (x ray) will show multiple fractures.OI cortical bone shows increased porosity, canal diameter, and connectivity in micro-computed tomography
DNA or collagen testing is confirmation.
Skin biopsy can be performed to determine the structure and quantity of type I collagen.
Treatment
- Treatment includes care of broken bones, pain medication, physical therapy, braces or wheelchairs, and surgery. A type of surgery that puts metal rods through long bones may be done to strengthen them.
