Type II is perinatal lethal and type III OI (the most severe viable form) is characterized by short stature, deformity of the long bones and spine due to fractures, as well as premature hearing loss. Type IV OI has a moderate variable phenotype between types I and III. Besides brittle...
The Dias-Tachdjian mechanistic classification system for pediatric ankle fractures provides useful information about the extent of osseous and soft tissue injury and the best method of closed reduction and correlates well with the Lauge-Hansen system, which is widely used for adult ankle fractures. ...

Like Egyptian mummies for example. People back then were quite a bit smaller than we are now, but I'm sure the bone structures were similar in terms of age and when the epiphyseal line would have formed. So they would be able to tell, for example, that Tutankhamun the "boy-pharaoh" ...
Bone growth occurs when the layers of ossified cells build up in size. Injuries to the epiphyseal plate may cause abnormal bone growth. This may cause early formation of the epiphyseal line and an end to longitudinal bone growth in the affected limb. Fractures that pass through the epiphyseal ...
