"Osteogenesis Imperfecta disease - case: surgical dilemmas”

OI is one of the most challenging surgical problems we face in pediatric orthopedics.  There are more questions than answers:  what age to begin, how many bones at one time, perioperative bisphosphonate therapy, when to exchange rods, when to go non-expandable, and more.  We will present a number of cases and seek input from EPOS attendees who will share their experience in a lively session.

Presenters:
Marek Jozwiak (Poznan, Poland)
Nicolas Nicolaou (Sheffield, UK)
Jeanne Franzone (USA)

Moderator:
Dr. Scott Hoffinger, Medical Director OrthoPediatrics
