Four types of treatment are available: (1) drugs or medications to increase the strength of bone and decrease fractures, (2) physical therapy, (3) bracing and splinting, and (4) surgery, with the most effective treatment being an operation consisting of multiple osteotomies and intramedullary rod fixations.
