Basilar impression and osteogenesis imperfecta: a 21-year retrospective review of outcomes in 20 patients

Abstract

Aggressive ventral decompression surgery and dorsal stabilization for patients with BI secondary to OI can not only halt disease progression but can also produce a good and sustainable long-term functional outcome, even in those patients who present as severely symptomatic. Patients who presented early with minor symptoms had good long-term outcomes.
