Osteogenesis imperfect
It is an inherited
bone complaint considered by brittle bones that are disposed to to fracture.
People with OI are instinctive with faulty connective tissue, or deprived of
the skill to make it, frequently because of a lack of collagen.
Symptoms
Bones
rupture easily. Fractures often present at birth, and x-rays may disclose whole
fractures that happened before birth.
Diagnosis
Identifying
OI is chiefly a scientific process. It is often problematic or indecisive
without a physician acquainted with the illness.
Treatment
A medical
process called rodding is often considered for people with OI. This action
involves introducing metal rods through the length of the long bones to
reinforce them and prevent or/and correct malformations.
