Correction of Acute Sagittal Plane Angular Deformity of Bilateral Tibia in a Case of Osteogenesis Imperfecta using Limb Reconstruction System
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic connective tissue disorder characterized by formation of brittle bones prone to develop fractures and deformities of limbs. Correction of deformity and bone union remains a challenge in such cases. Case report: Herein we present a case of severe congenital angular deformity of bilateral tibia in anteroposterior plane in a 7 year old girl suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta. She was not able to stand and walk since birth. We treated her successfully by single stage procedure of corrective osteotomy and its fixation with limb reconstruction system (LRS) bilaterally. Conclusion: External fixation using LRS greatly reduces frequency of fractures and facilitates bone healing effectively in cases of osteogenesis imperfecta. LRS is a excellent tool for correction of deformities in case of osteogenesis imperfecta.
