Osteogenesis Imperfecta and Idiopathic Juvenile Osteoporosis
Osteogenesis imperfecta doesn’t commonly appear and manifests only at births. It is a group of genetic abnormalities [10] that are already present at the birth of a child and disrupt the development of bone. It can cause the bones of an infant to break for no apparent reason.
Idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis [11] is also a rare form and uncommon type of osteoporosis that is not usually seen in adults. However, it is present in children that are between 8 and 14 years of age, or in periods of active increase in the growth of the child. It is usually not known or clear why adolescent have too much bone loss or little amount of bone formation. Individuals that have this type of osteoporosis are usually more susceptible to fracture injury. It should be noted that this type of osteoporosis can appear in children of both sexes.
