Radiological findings from CT of the extremities and spine orthography were suggestive of decreased bone mineralization (Figure 1), multiple past fractures, and defects in bone remodeling in all the bones (Figure 1); beaded ribs and thoracolumbar scoliosis (Cobb angle: 11) were also noticed (Figure 1). To date, the patient has had 12 long-bone fractures leading to deformities, requiring correction by osteotomy and insertion of intramedullary rods, and bowing of the left femur, tibia, and fibula (Figure 1).
