The authors report the results obtained in thirteen patients with osteogenesis imperfecta who were treated by the Sofield operation. This operation is indicated both in the congenital and delayed forms of the disease. The results are promising: prevention of deformities and fractures in a high percentage of cases, recovery of the ability to walk in all the patients. The incidence of complications was low, infection being the most serious. Although the use of extending rods reduces the number of reinterventions, it does not appear to improve the results and carries the risk of a greater number of complications. However, the authors have no experience of this particular technique.
作者报告了13例接受索菲尔德手术治疗的成骨不全患者的治疗结果。该手术适用于先天性和迟发性成骨不全。结果令人鼓舞：在大多数病例中可预防畸形和骨折，所有患者均恢复了行走能力。并发症发生率较低，感染是最严重的并发症。尽管使用延长杆减少了再次干预的次数，但似乎并未改善治疗效果，且有引发更多并发症的风险。然而，作者没有这种特殊技术的经验。
