Abstract: | Ambulation status was evaluated in 34 patients pre- and post-Sofield procedure in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta. Three percent had improved ambulation, 42.4% remained the same and 54.6% were worse. Only 41.2% were ambulating postoperatively compared to 73.5% preoperatively. The Sofield procedure did not improve ambulation status. |
