Osteogenesis imperfecta, or brittle bone disease, is a hereditary disease that creates bone fragility and growth deficiencies, among other symptoms. There are four types to this disease: Type I is the mildest form, where people break bones easier but generally grow to a normal height; Type II is the most severe, and usually results in fatal damage right after birth, and most babies with Type II have broken bones before they’re even born; Type III results in request fractures and bone deformities, which can affect height; Type IV is like Type I, but has more deformities. Brittle bone disease is a genetically heterogeneous connective tissue disorder which may be managed by medications and physical therapy or may even require surgery to correct. In some cases, osteogenesis imperfecta can result in a decrease of upper limb function after a fracture, which should be dealt with quickly. A person with osteogenesis imperfecta should keep up with their treatment plan, as well as take part in self care actions to maintain the proper range of motion for limbs. Kelly’s picture shows a healthy bone, alongside a bone affected by osteogenesis imperfecta. As you can see, the bone with osteogenesis imperfecta is more hollow than the healthy bone, making it more fragile and susceptible to fractures.
Osteogenesis imperfecta, or also know as brittle bones, is another hereditary disorder that causes fragility to bones and deficiency in growth. There are four types that ranges from type I to Type IV. Type I its easier bone fracture and does not affect the height of the patient to severe and sometimes can be fatal. Type II is for new born or even not born yet, they tend to have a broken bones even before birth. Type III it involves constant fracture with bone deformities and it affects the height of the patient. and Type IV is the same as Type I but it has more deformities. This disorder is manageable by, Medication, Physical Therapy, and even surgery. Continuous treatment and self-care is needed to maintain limb motion. Kelly’s picture one healthy bone and the other affected one has osteogenesis perfecta it highlights the increase in bone fragility and has more hollow that the healthy bone.
