Pathophysiology
Presence of inherited OI Improper collagen synthesis Bone rigidity/brittleness Crushing forces/factors for fracture Easier break in continuity of bone
Diagnostic procedures
X-ray - showed proximal 3rd of right femur fracture. Skin Biopsy for collagen structure, indicated for diagnosing OI.
