Hi,

Please ask his surgeon what could cause hie soft bones and if he needs any further evaluation for this. He may need more calcium or vitamin D, or both, but in order to know he will need more evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. ALICE TURNER, Pediatrician
