IMPERFECTA
CASE PRESENTATION
INTRODUCTION:
We have chosen a case of
Osteogenesis Imperfecta because of
its rarity. Aside from the fact that it is
a congenital disorder, there is also no
known treatment for the said disease.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a
genetic disorder characterized by
bones that break easily, often from
little or no apparent cause. Abnormal
collagen composition leads to
brittleness, thus causing the
incidences of fracture higher than
average.
A classification system of
different types of OI is commonly
used to help describe how severely a
person with OI is affected.
Prevalence of OI has shown that
6-7 per 100,000 people are affected by
osteogenesis imperfecta worldwide.
Osteogenesis imperfecta is listed as a
"rare disease" by the Office of Rare
Diseases (ORD) of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH).

History of
Present Illness
History of Present Illness
JME came in due to severe pain of
the right thigh from the moment he fell
in a hole until he was brought to
Philippine Orthopedic Center; he
experienced pain every time he moves
his leg. Prior to admission, the patient
was walking home from school at 1:00
in the afternoon; he apparently stepped
in an open manhole and fell down. He
was brought by his father to Philippine
Orthopedic Center immediately and
was admitted.

No known allergies to drugs
and foods. Patient JME is fully
immunized. He received 1 dose

dose of AMV.
He had 3 previous
hospitalizations.
His first hospitalization was
last 2005 when he was 9 y/o at
Sorsogon Provincial Hospital.
The cause of his hospitalization
was when he fell down in a 4ft
tall niche. He was admitted at
Sorsogon Provincial Hospital
and was seen by Dr. De Castro.
He was fitted with 1½ Hip Spica
due to affection in his right
femur and hips
A year and a half after his first
hospitalization, he was rushed to the
Gubat Hospital due to seizure
episodes secondary to Tetanus. He
had stepped on a broken glass while
walking along the seashore. He
immediately washed it with
seawater. After 3 days, he developed
seizures without any accompanying
signs and symptoms. He was given 2
vials of anti-tetanus.
When he was 11 y/o, he was
hospitalized for the third time
when he slipped on a slippery
surface in their home. He was
brought to POC where he was
examined by Dr. Sy and was
diagnosed with Osteogenesis
Imperfecta.

FEMUR
The thigh is the region of the femur.
The longest and strongest bone in the
skeleton is almost perfectly cylindrical in the
greater part of its extent. Looking at the back
of the right femur we see the deep ridge that
goes from greater to lesser trochanter. The
greater is the handle for upward pulling hip
abductors (gluteus medius and minimus). The
lesser is the handle for the psoas tendon.
Sitting behind the femoral head, the flexion
action of the psoas is also an outward rotation
force as the lesser trochanter is pulled forward
and upward - spinning and raising the femur.
The distal end of the femur is one of the
four boney parts of the knee. The others are
tibia, patella, and indirectly (by being a
ligament handle) the fibula.
