An infant with osteogenesis imperfecta can sustain a fracture during an apparently routine transfer.
An infant with osteogenesis imperfecta can sustain a fracture during an apparently routine transfer. The nursing task is not to keep the patient completely still; it is to distribute force, recognize a new injury early, and support mobility safely. The same type I collagen abnormality that weakens bone can also produce blue sclerae, fragile dentin, joint hypermobility, and hearing impairment. That pattern helps connect the bedside findings to the diagnosis and guides safer care.
