Osteogenesis Imperfecta no Desporto Adaptado: Um caso Atípico de Fratura do Rádio Distal

Sport practice by patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta should be encouraged, however contact sports should always be duly considered due to the risk of bone fractures. The authors describe the clinical case of a Wheelchair Basketball athlete (WB) who went to the Emergency Department due to a distal radius fracture in the context of wrist trauma caused by a Basketball ball. Distal radius fractures typically occur in the context of high-kinetic trauma. Due to the increased bone fragility of the athlete presented, this fracture was caused by a minor trauma in the context of receiving the Basketball ball. WB is a high-impact sport, so its practice by athletes with OI must be duly considered.
