"Osteogenesis Imperfecta" is the first translational reference
professionals can turn to for a source of comprehensive information
on this disorder. Although several reviews of the field have been
published in various journals, there is no other single source for
a compendium of current information. Separate chapters discuss each
of the several clinical features of OI. Ethical issues related to
OI are discussed, as is the importance of nutrition in managing the
OI child and the OI adult. The role of physical medicine and
rehabilitation for OI patients is also presented, along with the
current status of OI medical treatment and the prospects for
genetic engineering in the future. The text also provides the
orthopedic surgeon with an advanced discussion of surgical
techniques applicable to OI.
