International audience; Osteogenesis imperfecta type III (OI) is a serious genetic condition with poor bone quality and a high fracture rate in children. In a previous study, it was shown that a monoclonal antibody neutralizing sclerostin (Scl-Ab) increases strength and vertebral bone mass while reducing the number of axial fractures in oim/oim, a mouse model of OI type III. Here, we analyze the impact of Scl-Ab on long bones in OI mice. After 9 weeks of treatment, Scl-Ab significantly reduced long bone fractures (3.6 ± 0.3 versus 2.1 ± 0.8 per mouse, p
