Abstract
The treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta requires a multidisciplinary team to maximize function and comfort, and decrease fracture incidence. Medical treatment with bisphosphonates has allowed for safer, more effective surgical management of children with osteogenesis imperfecta. The purpose of this review is to outline treatment indications and choices of surgical techniques based on recent clinical studies, and in addition to identify persistent clinical problems addressed in recent literature.
