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
