ABSTRACT
Sixteen children with osteogenesis imperfecta [OI] were evaluated clinically and radiologically. All were not able to walk preoperatively except 3 children. 53 operations of Sofield-Miliar's multiple osteotomies and intramedullary rodding were performed, starting at ages 11 months to 12 years. Indications, technical tricks, as well as outcomes are outlined. Follow up period ranged from 3 months to 11 years. The results up to the time of writing this paper are satisfactory. We hoped, by studying and delineating our personal experience to be able to present a more thorough portrayal of the spectrum of the disease and of its management
