Fracture characteristics and outcomes in osteogenesis imperfecta: A systematic review

Objectives

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder marked by bone fragility and increased fracture risk, adversely affecting quality of life (QoL). The overall fracture burden remains incompletely defined. This systematic review synthesised evidence on fracture characteristics (onset, frequency, anatomical location, risk factors) and outcomes (healing time and downstream signs, symptoms, and events [SSEs]).
