ABSTRACT
Osteopetrosis is a rare metabolic disease which presents with fragile osteosclerotic bone. A thirteen-year-old girl with an underlying autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADO) type II who sustained a left oblique humeral shaft fracture after trivial trauma is presented. Radiographic results showed many characteristic features of osteopetrosis, including incomplete remodeling of a previous fracture of the contralateral humeral shaft. The authors obtained good healing and alignment of the left humeral shaft fracture by sugar tong slab.
