Surgical stabilization of the scoliotic spine in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is technically difficult owing to the mechanical weakness of the bone. Brittle bone makes instrumentation of the spine a procedure all too often associated with complications. Combining the instrumentation of the OI spine, both anteriorly and posteriorly, with the use of methylmethacrylate to augment the fixation may prove valuable as a surgical technique. This usage of methylmethacrylate in correcting severe scoliosis in OI has not been previously reported.
由于骨质脆弱，在成骨不全症（OI）患者中对脊柱侧弯进行手术固定在技术上具有挑战性。易碎的骨骼使得脊柱内固定手术常常伴随着并发症。将OI脊柱的前路和后路内固定与使用甲基丙烯酸甲酯增强固定相结合，作为一种手术技术可能具有重要价值。此前尚未有关于甲基丙烯酸甲酯在矫正OI严重脊柱侧弯中的这种应用的报道。
