Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI)
Nationally Known Osteogenesis Imperfecta Care
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also called 鈥渂rittle bone disease,鈥 is a rare genetic disorder that affects the formation and strength of bones. Children born with OI have bones that break easily, often with little or no obvious cause. With the proper medical treatment and supportive care, most kids with OI can reach their full potential. At 91大神 Children's, our goal is to help kids build bone mass and muscle strength, manage their symptoms and be as active as possible.
