Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a bone metabolic disorder that results in multiple fractures and deformities in children. The management of these patients should be in highly specialised units were multi-disciplinary management is mandatory. The aims of this study were twofold: 1. To determine the incidence and pattern of fractures in this population. 2. To determine the type, outcomes and complications of surgical treatment in the same population. A retrospective audit of patients treated for OI at a tertiary academic Hospital, from January 2002 to December 2011 was done.Introduction and Purpose of Study
Methods
To determine the clinical presentation and management of patients with traumatic finger amputations. Patients who presented to the emergency unit of a major tertiary academic hospital were reviewed prospectively. A data collection form indicating the mechanism of injury and the treatment given among other parameters was completed for each patient. Data was entered into Microsoft Excel spread sheets and was then imported into Statistica software version 11.0. Parametric, continuous variables were described using means and standard deviations. Medians and interquartile ranges were used for non-parametric data. Categorical variables were described using frequencies and percentagesPurpose of Study
