IMSS Bienestar provides specialized treatment for rare bone disease in Hidalgo

A 13-year-old boy diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta, a rare genetic condition commonly known as “brittle bone disease,” has regained the ability to participate in physical activities thanks to specialized care at the Hospital General de Alta Especialidad de Pachuca in Hidalgo.

Under the supervision of geneticist Miriam Hidalgo Ostoa, the patient has received multidisciplinary treatment through the IMSS Bienestar program. Since beginning this free medical follow-up, the adolescent has not suffered any new fractures, allowing him to return to activities such as running and playing basketball.

The patient's mother noted that the family previously lived in constant fear of minor impacts causing fractures, but emphasized the importance of the medical support provided by the institution.
