A member asked:
I have broken 7 bones in one hands on different occasions. could have osteogenesis imperfecta type 1, maybe a mild case?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That can only be Dx: After a proper evaluation/investigations. The oi is a very uncommon condition, usually DX in younger age groups. Your pcp/orthopod can help DX you or send you to a university setting where the required testing could be done.
