Osteogenesis Imperfecta treatment in Santiago de Querétaro

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic condition that affects the formation of collagen, making bones fragile and prone to fracture, which is why it is also known as "brittle bone disease."

Common signs: repeated fractures from minor impacts, short stature, loose joints and, in some cases, a bluish tint to the white of the eye or dental problems.

When should you seek guidance? when a child suffers frequent fractures without a proportionate cause or there is a family history of fragile bones, a focused and timely evaluation is advisable.

Recommended care: the orthopedic surgeon and the pediatric orthopedic surgeon monitor the skeletal system, the pediatrician coordinates overall care, and the pediatric endocrinologist helps manage bone metabolism. Bringing this team of professionals together helps plan appropriate support from an early age.
