Case 2
My DX is osteogenesis imperfecta.

Basis H/o multiple fractures and blue sclera.

Ddx- OI, Battered baby syndrome, rickets , osteomalacia.

Work up-

  • Medical imaging (x ray) will show multiple fractures.OI cortical bone shows increased porosity, canal diameter, and connectivity in micro-computed tomography

  • DNA or collagen testing is confirmation.

  • Skin biopsy can be performed to determine the structure and quantity of type I collagen.

Treatment

  • Treatment includes care of broken bones, pain medication, physical therapy, braces or wheelchairs, and surgery. A type of surgery that puts metal rods through long bones may be done to strengthen them.

Hi @drqamranbashir, you have been very regular on the rounds, i appreciate your contributions and the efforts you put in to share your knowledge with the blockchain. Its a n amazing feat. Your diagnosis and management protocols are in order. Keep up the good work @drqamranbashir.

He is not just regular. How detailed he goes is quite commendable. Well done Dr.

Thank you. Itz partly because of my passion and partly because of compliments i get from people like you and @antigenx here.

and i also noticed you have a penchant for the second cases..(winks)

Basically i usually see cases after an hour or so and i expect others to have started working on first case. Morever , i attempt only one case so that max people get chance to participate and enlighten us.
