Hi. There is no cure for oi. Treatment is aimed at increasing overall bone strength to prevent fracture and maintain mobility. Bisphoshonates medicines increase bone mass, and reduce bone pain and fracture. In severe cases, bones are surgically corrected, and rods are placed inside the bones, particularly to enable infants to learn to walk. Bone infection are treated as and when they occur with the appropriate antibiotic and antiseptics.
