“…The patient with osteogenesis imperfecta (01) is still widely considered a poor candidate for rehabilitation, and the small number of rehabilitation papers seem to attest to this idea [Binder et al, 1984;Bleck, 1981;Gerber et al, 1990;Letts et al, 1988;Morel et al, 1982;Shea-Landry and Cole, 19861 Our experience with rehabilitation of children with 01 has accumulated over the past 10 years. It began with a joint protocol for infants and young children between the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda and Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C.…”

Children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) that results in considerable deformity are often viewed as poor candidates for aggressive physical therapy and rehabilitation. To determine if this view is realistic, we have entered almost 50 children with OI type III and OI type IV into a comprehensive graduated rehabilitation program, based at the National Institutes of Health, but designed to be implemented by continuing involvement of community resources. Children are begun in the program early with emphasis on gain of head and trunk control and progression to sitting and walking, if possible, with the aid of a variety of physical supports, including internal and external bracing. Although not conducted in a randomized fashion, the program's success in bringing children into graded exercise regimes and fostering their increased involvement in school and social situations suggest that aggressive physical therapy and rehabilitation have a major place in the overall care of the infants and children with OI.

“…It was reported that, although the deformity would progress and the length loss would increase in case of a delayed surgery, it should be noted that very early surgery would increase the number of revision [26]. Ryöppy et al [27] suggested that early intervention to children without a lower limit of age by using non-extending nails improved motor development of the lower extremity. Tiley and Albright [25], in turn, reported that the time to stand up was the age to start fixation for the lower extremity.…”

Introduction: Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a connective tissue disorder, which is the most common cause of genetic osteoporosis characterized by long bone deformities and fractures. The key defect is the qualitative and quantitative lack of type I collagen. The primary target in these patients is to fix deformities and to prevent fractures. The surgical application is often a basic surgical technique known as "Shish Kebab" osteotomy and mainly based on the principle of multiple osteotomies, fixation, and intramedullary nailing. In the present study, we present our results of the modified Sofield procedure for osteogenesis imperfecta-related lower extremity deformities.
