Manage the sysmtops: There is not yet a cure for oi. Treatment is directed toward preventing or controlling the symptoms, maximizing independent mobility, and developing optimal bone mass and muscle strength. Care of fractures, extensive surgical and dental procedures, and physical therapy are often recommended for people with oi. Use of wheelchairs, braces, and other mobility aids is common.
