title: Traumatic hand fracture in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This article presents a case of osteogenesis imperfecta and reviews the clinical and radiographic features of this condition.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 27-year-old woman presented with pain in her left hand after a fall while dancing. Plain films revealed multiple fractures in the digits of her left hand.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient was referred to an orthopedic specialist for treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Osteogenesis imperfecta is a heritable disorder of bone, which predisposes patients to fractures after trivial trauma, as was demonstrated in this case.
