Our specialists regularly treat children with hereditary and acquired metabolic bone diseases ranging from osteogenesis imperfecta – also known as “brittle bone disease” – to inherited rickets, osteomalacia, McCune-Albright syndrome, primary and secondary osteoporosis, and a variety of genetic disorders. Kids who have a bone disease may have trouble walking, painless deformities within their limbs, easily fractured bones, decreased muscle coordination and sometimes, extreme disability. Treatments for pediatric bone diseases range from a wait-and-see approach to determine if the child will grow out of their condition to bracing or surgery – the latter of which may be considered when a growth plate is damaged.
