Deandra is a 3 year old with a mild form of Osteogenesis Imperfecta. She is coming to the pediatric clinic for a routine checkup. The nurse knows that Deandra's bowing legs are a result of:
1. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis.
2. A previous broken femur.
3. Microfractures of the femoral head.
4. Growth plate deformities.

Feedback
1. The femoral epiphysis does not dislocate.
2. Previous breaks do not cause the bowing of the legs.
3. The microfractures will cause pain, but not bowing.
4. Injuries to the growth plate will increase the chance for bowing of the legs.
