Osteogeneis Imperfecta: A Translational Approach to Brittle Bone Disease, Second Edition is the translational reference to which professionals turn to for comprehensive information on the topic. Separate chapters discuss each of the several clinical features of OI. Basic researchers from all areas of endocrine, orthopedic, and rheumatologic research will gain insight into how clinical observations and practices can feed back into the research cycle, leading to more targeted genomic and proteomic insights into the mechanisms of osteogenesis imperfecta and concomitant diseases.
This is an essential resource for scientists and clinicians in the OI field. It provides a unique overview for the orthopedic surgeon with an advanced discussion of applicable surgical techniques and discusses the role of physical medicine and rehabilitation for patients, the current status of medical treatment and the prospects for genetic engineering in the future.

- Saves time in quickly assessing the very latest details on the diverse scientific and clinical aspects of this disease as opposed to searching through hundreds of journal articles or massive textbooks
- Provides a common language for biomedical researchers and research clinicians across biomedical disciplines to discuss the consequences of osteogenesis imperfecta in endocrine and orthopedic diseases as well as the development of therapies
- Offers new insights into the underlying mechanisms of collagen biochemistry, as well as a presentation of intracellular collagen processing and the expanded role of protein chaperones
- Discusses the role of physical medicine and rehabilitation for patients, the current status of medical treatment, as well as prospects for genetic engineering in the future
