Abstract Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous connective tissue disorders that results in low bone mass, bone deformity, and bone fractures.

The primary focus of medical therapy has been to increase bone mass and reduce fracture risk through medical and surgical treatment. The mainstay of treatment in this population is bisphosph
