When do fractures occur in FD
• fracture rate is highest in childhood
Fracture rate
(mean # fractures/patient/year)
0.5
• fracture rate persists into adulthood
0.45
• marked variability between people
0.4
• variability is related to endocrine problems

• FD of the spine is common (63%)
• scoliosis is common (40%)
• functional deficits are rare
• progression can be stopped by rods
