“…The marked differences in physical function across the OI types likely result from the wide array of clinical manifestations (i.e. growth deficiency, degree of skeletal dysplasia and frequency of fractures) which vary significantly in both presence and severity according to the phenotype [1,2].…”

“…Although this finding is difficult to reconcile with the extreme debilitating sequelae induced by fractures including, fear of fractures, pain and deformities, it is possible to hypothesise that the number of fractures could play a lesser role in the development of physical alterations than that reported in children. This could be related to the lower incidence of fractures [1] during adulthood than childhood, which might result in a longer recovery time and consequently in a partial restoration of the physical function and alleviating of the psychological distress.…”

“…These patients show bone fragility, deformities of long bones, and short stature. The bone brittleness results in fractures even after minor trauma and subsequent growth restriction [ 3 ]. The clinical classification of OI was first established by Sillence and colleagues in 1979 [ 4 ] and five clinical forms are defined in the revised “Nosology and Classification of Genetic Skeletal Disorders.” [ 5 ] OI type Ⅰ has the mildest phenotype while type Ⅳ is a moderately severe form.…”
