Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic defect in collagen type I, phenotypically characterized by bony fragility and a propensity to high rates of childhood fracture. Fragility fractures in patients with OI have been reported with routine hospital care. In addition, there is a nonzero rate of iatrogenic fracture during orthopaedic surgery directly related to the technical steps of the procedure itself. The rate of this latter has never been explicitly investigated.
