Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare genetic disease characterized by bone fragility, recurrent fractures and bone deformities. Telescopic rods are used to correct deformities and prevent fractures, with the benefit of extending along with the child's growth, which avoids the need of revision surgeries to change it. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, cost-effectiveness and budgetary impact of telescopic rods in children with osteogenesis imperfecta in comparison with non-extensible implants for their incorporation into the Brazilian Healthcare System.
