Skewfoot in Patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta

We report skewfoot deformities in two patients who have osteogenesis imperfecta. A discussion will follow proposing etiologies of skewfoot, speculating that the ligamentous laxity often present in children who have osteogenesis imperfecta may predispose the development of skewfoot.
