Patients with a history of fracture were identified by their response to 1 question, and details characterizing each patient's medical, growth, and fracture history were obtained through chart review and telephone contact.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twelve of 42 patients (28%) reported a total of 27 fractures. Patients experienced fractures at a mean age of 5 years, which contrasts with healthy children, in whom fracture incidence peaks in adolescence. Fractures occurred primarily in the lower extremity long bones (70%) and with little or no trauma (84%). Estimated incidence rate calculations yielded 399.6 total fractures per 10,000 person\u2010years (95% confidence interval 206.5, 698.0) and 127.6 femur fractures per 10,000 person\u2010years (95% confidence interval 42.4, 297.7).

Although this preliminary study is limited by small sample size and potential ascertainment bias, the data suggest that larger studies are warranted to further characterize fracture risk and explore factors contributing to bone fragility in these children.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/mpg.0b013e3181cb9629","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,5,5]],"date-time":"2010-05-05T04:43:17Z","timestamp":1273034597000},"page":"66-70","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":70,"title":["Pathologic
