Results are given of a study of four cases of osteogenesis imperfecta using biophysical methods comprising microradiography, microscopy using polarised light, and x-ray diffraction. Rebuilding of bone tissue was infrequent in the material studied and has been shown to occur in an abnormal manner. The mineralisation of the bone is more uniform than is found in normal bone. The collagen has an abnormal organisation and is sparse. The ultrastructure of bone salts and their orientation are as in normal bone.
