Abstrakt: The clinical and radiographic features and management of a young person with recently delineated Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type V is described. A female aged 9 years presented with a history of multiple fractures since 3 years of age and bilateral dislocation of the elbows from infancy. She was commenced on a low dose frequent regimen of cyclic intravenous pamidronate, which resulted in progressive improvement in bone density, reduced fracture frequency and remission of symptoms of osteoporosis.
