He's only seven but he's already suffered more than 50 broken bones

KUALA TERENGGANU: Muhammad Raihan Jamaluddin is only seven-years-old, yet in his tender age, he's already sustained more than 50 broken bones.

"It's not even about whenever he falls down. Even when he's startled and jerks, it's enough to result in a fracture," said his mother, Norhayati Tiimat, 40, from Losong Haji Su, near here.

She said her son has suffered from a condition known as "soft bones" since birth. By her estimate, he has sustained more than 50 fractures so far.

She said it would happen every one to two months, affecting either the arm, hip or shoulder bones.
