Brittle Bone Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Brittle bone disease, also known as osteogenesis imperfecta, is a condition that makes bones weaker than normal and prone to fracture easily. Its origin is related to the formation of bone tissue and it can appear from childhood.
Common symptoms: fractures that occur from mild blows, bones that become deformed over time, and, in some cases, other associated features.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist, and in children the pediatric orthopedist, evaluates bone health, while the physical therapist supports the care of movement and strength.
When to seek care? If there are frequent fractures or fractures with no apparent cause, a professional evaluation is advisable to help understand the situation and plan the most appropriate care.
