Sažetak
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited disorder of the connective tissue the primary manifestation of which is an increased
susceptibility to fractures. Patients often require orthopaedic treatment of fractures and resultant deformities. Commonly encountered
intraoperative complications include diffi cult airway with easily fractured teeth, patient positioning problems, intraoperative
bleeding, hypothermia, respiratory compromise due to skeletal deformity, cardiac problems or basilar invagination caused by
congenital anomalies, and very rarely development of perioperative hyperthermia. Therefore, multidisciplinary approach to preoperative
assessment of patients with OI, including identifi cation of risk factors and optimization of health before surgery is needed.
