Introduction Bisphosphonates are currently the medical treatment most often used in children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The purpose of this retrospective pre–post study was to evaluate the efficacy of treatment with bisphosphonates. We measured the effect by evaluating the number of outpatient department consultations and operative interventions before and after treatment with bisphosphonates in children with OI. |
