UNMC is quickly becoming a national center for Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), thanks to Horacio Plotkin, M.D., who joined the Munroe-Meyer Institute's department of inherited metabolic diseases several months ago. Dr. Plotkin's level of expertise in OI (often known as "brittle bone disease") and other pediatric bone diseases is not only unique to Omaha, but to other American cities.https://www.unmc.edu/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/PlotkinHoracio.jpg
