In reply: We are grateful for Drs Shelmerdine, Arthurs, and Calder’s interest in our article “Fractures at diagnosis in infants and children with osteogenesis imperfecta.” 1 We would like to address the concerns raised by the authors in their letter, 2 as we believe that they arise from a misunderstanding of the intent and methodology of our study.First, Dr Shelmerdine and colleagues criticize our study as both not having a control group and not undertaking “genetic testing and confessionals” on all subjects. We believe that this criticism is unwarranted and stems from a misunderstanding of the purpose of our study. As stated in our paper, the study was intended to be purely descriptive in nature. We stated that the purpose of the study was to “characterize the fracture patterns and clinical information relied upon by clinicians at the time of diagnosis in a sample of infants and children with OI.” 1 While we hypothesized that the pattern difference would exist, we were careful not to state that our study was designed to demonstrate that. As fracture patterns at the time of diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) in children had not been described prior, we felt, and still do, that there is value to begin to identify if a true overlap of fracture pattern does indeed exist. Our data, while limited to a retrospective chart review, did not demonstrate any similarity to fracture patterns often described in infant victims of abuse. We recognize that our statement “infants with multiple rib fractures are unlikely to be suffering from undiagnosed OI” may seem generous to Dr Shelmerdine and colleagues. Given that our study is the
