Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a group of disease characterized by extremely fragile bones that break easily often without any apparent cause. This disease is due to the abnormality of the connective tissue and it is a genetic disorder.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
What is osteogenesis imperfecta?
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle-bone disease, is a genetic (inherited) disorder characterized by bones that break easily without a specific cause.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
The term osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is used for a group of disorders in which genetic defects result in abnormally brittle bones that fracture easily.

Osteogenesis Imperfecta Treatment at Jefferson
Although there is no cure for osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease), our goal at Jefferson is to prevent deformity and fracture, allowing you to function as independently as possible.
What is osteogenesis imperfecta?
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of genetic disorders that mainly affect the bones. The term "osteogenesis imperfecta" means imperfect bone formation.
Type I Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Type I osteogenesis imperfecta is the most common and mildest type of this disease. While the structure of the collagen is normal, there is less collagen than there should be.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a congenital disease, meaning it is present at birth. It is frequently caused by defect in the gene that produces type 1 collagen, an important building block of bone.
What is osteogenesis imperfecta?
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is the most common disease causing fractures in childhood. It also causes fractures in adults.
Osteogenesis imperfecta is an incurable condition. Treatments to manage the disease include surgery, physical therapy, and physical aids. Bone infections are managed with antibiotics and antiseptics when they occur.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder that is also characterized by easily fractured bones. OI is usually caused by imperfectly formed bone collagen due to a genetic defect.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic problem that causes bones to break easily, often for little or no obvious reason. As many as 50,000 Americans currently have OI, and there are at least eight forms of the disease.

Hypophosphatasia is one of several disorders that resembles osteogenesis imperfecta. It is an inherited metabolic (chemical) bone disease that results from low levels of an enzyme called alkaline phosphatase (ALP).
