Treatment options
Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Bisphosphonate therapy
Antiresorptive medications to improve bone density and reduce fracture risk by inhibiting osteoclast activity in this congenital bone fragility disorder.
Drug therapy and clinical monitoring
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
Guided exercise program focusing on gentle strengthening, range of motion, and functional mobility within safe limits to maintain joint function.
Additional treatment options
Orthopedic surgical intervention
Surgical procedures to correct skeletal deformities, stabilize fractures, and address joint contractures using appropriate fixation techniques for fragile bone.
surgicalMultidisciplinary bone health monitoring
Regular assessment of bone density, fracture incidence, growth parameters, and functional status by endocrinology, orthopedics, and rehabilitation teams.
monitoringFall prevention and bone protection strategies
Home safety modifications, assistive devices, and activity modifications to prevent fractures and maximize independence in daily activities.
