Abstract
Ambulation status was evaluated in 34 patients pre- and post-Sofield proced ure in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta. Three percent had improved am bulation. 42.4% remained the same and 53.6% were worse. Only 41.2% were amb ulating postoperatively compared to 73.5% preoperatively. The Sofield proce dure did not improve ambulation status.
