THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN TEMPORARY BRITTLE BONE DISEASE [TBBD] AND INTRAUTERINE CONFINEMENT [IUC]. 481

The death of temporary brittle bone disease is premature.

Osteogenesis imperfecta, non-accidental injury, and temporary brittle bone disease.

The correct distinction between osteogenesis imperfecta and non-accidental injury (NAI) is an emotive subject upon which the fate of a child can depend. It has been the subject of strongly worded papers and letters by experts. 1-5 Although the frequency, clinical features, and skeletal effects of NAI are not in question, much new knowledge on osteogenesis imperfecta has bypassed the general pae...

Temporary brittle bone disease versus suspected non-accidental skeletal injury.

Temporary brittle bone disease has been proposed again as an alternative explanation for suspected non-accidental injury. This is still not considered a real entity by mainstream opinion. The recent publications remind us to look carefully for alternative explanations and to investigate for predisposing bone disorders thoroughly.

Temporary brittle bone disease: relationship between clinical findings and judicial outcome

There is a wide differential diagnosis for the child with unexplained fractures including non-accidental injury, osteogenesis imperfecta and vitamin D deficiency rickets. Over the last 20 years we and others have described a self-limiting syndrome characterised by fractures in the first year of life. This has been given the provisional name temporary brittle bone disease. This work had proved c...
