Treatment with denosumab or zoledronic acid is beneficial in increasing BMD and improving the spinal morphometry of children with OI. However, denosumab should be used with caution in pediatric patients with OI because of its common and dangerous side effect of rebound hypercalcemia. The appropriate dosage and dosing interval of denosumab need to be further explored in children with OI.
