About the Book

Osteogenesis Imperfecta is the first translational reference professionals can turn to for a source of comprehensive information on this disorder. Although several reviews of the field have been published in various journals, there is no other single source for a compendium of current information. Separate chapters discuss each of the several clinical features of OI. Ethical issues related to OI are discussed, as is the importance of nutrition in managing the OI child and the OI adult. The role of physical medicine and rehabilitation for OI patients is also presented, along with the current status of OI medical treatment and the prospects for genetic engineering in the future. The text also provides the orthopedic surgeon with an advanced discussion of surgical techniques applicable to OI.

Review :
"A monumental nearly 600 page textbook about OI has recently been published. This comprehensive reference is a collection of chapters by an international group of physicians and researchers.Their goal was to bring together in one volume the latest information about the biochemistry, genetics, research questions and treatments available to manage OI in children and adults. A special feature is an advanced discussion of surgical techniques applicable to OI."--OI Foundation E-News, September 2013
