Abstract
The response to the bisphophosphonate, pamidronate, is reported in a c hild with osteogenesis imperfecta who had recurrent symptomatic hyperc alcaemia after immobilisation following fractures. Oral clodronate was effective in the prevention of immobilisation hypercalcaemia in the s ame child. The bisphosphonates may have other roles in osteogenesis im perfecta by decreasing bone turnover.
