骨發生不全病患之復健一病例報告

Abstract

Osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited disorder of connective tissue, which affects the skeleton, ligament, skin, sclera, and dentin. It often produces multiple fractures and spinal deformities complicated with cardiopulmonary dysfunction. Osteoarthropathy, among which, will produce chronic pain, and is the main cause of functional disturbance of this kind of patients. We report a 20-year-old male patient with Osteogenesis imperfecta, who suffered from multiple long bone fractures and spinal kyphoscoliosis since his childhood. Two months before this admission, he had experienced one episode of accident with marked left hip and left elbow pain due to left hip joint dislocation and left radial bone fracture. Since then, he lost his abilityof propelling wheel chair and performing heavy hygiene. After proper medication and rehabilitation managements, the pain alleviated and he resumed his previous functional status and job.
