Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a brittle bone disease is a rare genetic condition characterised by skeletal anomalies that results in higher bone fragility, reduced bone mass, deformity, and other connective-tissue signs in which the body is unable to form healthy bones. This case report presents a case of an 11-year-old male kid who visited our hospital with a complaint of pain and deformity in his left leg. After investigations, he was diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta with a midshaft tibial fracture of the left leg. Physical therapy rehabilitation was started and plays one of the important roles in the management of this condition along with medical and orthopedic management. Physical therapy involves strengthening exercises, stretching exercises, bracing, functional activities, gait training, etc. This case study highlighted that physical therapy rehabilitation along with multidisciplinary care; can help the patient with pain management and functional independence which enhances the patient's strength, endurance, prevents deformity, and improves the patient's quality of life.
