  • Title: Mandibular reconstruction with bone transport in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta.
    Author: Muraki Y, Tominaga K, Yoshioka I, Fujita M, Khanal A, Matsushita S, Fukuda J.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2008 Sep; 37(9):870-3. PubMed ID: 18524539.
    Abstract:
    Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) was originally considered a connective tissue disorder, primarily involving type 1 collagen. It is characterized by numerous skeletal and extraskeletal defects, including bone fragility, multiple fractures, blue sclerae, hearing deficits, skin and ligament laxity, and dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI). The authors describe a 24-year-old Japanese man with OI and DI who had an ossifying fibroma of the mandible. Segmental resection was performed, and the mandible was reconstructed by distraction osteogenesis with the transport segment technique. This is the first report to describe a patient with OI undergoing mandibular reconstruction with bone transport, to the authors' knowledge.
