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. An estimated 20,000 to 50,000 people in the US have this disease. The disorder occurs in one out of 20,000 to one out of 60,000 live births. OI can affect males and females of all races. What causes osteogenesis imperfecta? The cause of OI is believed to be due to a genetic defect that causes imperfectly-formed, or an inadequate amount of, bone collagen a protein found in the connective tissue. What are the types and symptoms of OI? The following are the most common symptoms for osteogenesis imperfecta. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Although symptoms may vary, generally they are used to classify the four forms of OI, each of which represents the severity of the condition. According to the Osteoporosis and Related Bone Diseases National Resource Center, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the types of OI and their symptoms include the following: Type I: most common bones fracture easily can usually be traced through the family near normal stature or slightly shorter blue sclera (the normally white area of the eye ball) dental problems hearing loss beginning in the early 20s and 30s most fractures occur before puberty; occasionally women will have fractures after menopause

Fibrous Dysplasia What is fibrous dysplasia? Fibrous dysplasia is a chronic disorder in which bone expands due to abnormal development of fibrous tissue, often resulting in one, or more, of the following: uneven growth of bones pain brittle bones bone deformity Any bone can be affected. More than one bone can be affected at any one time, and, when multiple bones are affected, it is not unusual for them to all be on one side of the body. However, fibrous dysplasia does not spread from one bone to another. The most commonly affected bones include the following: femur (thighbone) tibia (shin bone) ribs skull facial bones humerus ( the bone of the upper arm pelvis vertebrae in the spine (less often) Some people develop hormonal problems and a condition called McCune-Albright syndrome. McCune-Albright syndrome, another form of fibrous dysplasia, includes different symptoms, such as early onset of puberty and skin spots, called café-au-lait spots. Fibrous dysplasia usually occurs in children and young adults, and is found equally between males and females. What causes fibrous dysplasia?

Skip Navigation home about us referring ... Diagnostic Procedures for Bone Disorders Diagnostic Procedures for Bone Disorders How are bone disorders diagnosed? In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for bone disorders may include the following: laboratory tests for blood, urine, and other body fluids x-ray - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film. computed tomography scan (Also called a CT or CAT scan.) - a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices), both horizontally and vertically, of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general x-rays. A CT scan provides information about bone, muscle, and fat. It is also used to assist the physician in locating the exact area for a biopsy. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body. MRI scans provide detailed information about soft tissue, the bone marrow cavity, and bone tumors.
