Article Synopsis
- Children with X Linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH) experience significant bone issues and may also have distinct muscle characteristics compared to typically developed (TD) children.
- A study used MRI to analyze muscle morphology in 11 XLH patients and 15 TD children, hypothesizing that XLH would show noticeable differences that could contribute to their limping.
- Results indicated that most muscle lengths and volumes in XLH patients were smaller than in TD children, with the exception of the medius/minimus gluteus muscles, suggesting a varied muscle structure associated with the condition.
Purpose: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder responsible for various symptoms including deformities and frequent fractures. Bone allografting is poorly documented in this condition. The objective of this study was to describe our experience and assessments in a consecutive series of OI patients.

However, doctors do not currently use quantitative tools to characterize these symptoms and their possible interactions.
Methods: Radiographs and 3D gait data from 43 non-surgical growing children with X-linked hypophosphataemia were acquired prospectively.
Romantic experiences are more fluid and heterogeneous during middle adolescence than at any other life stage, but current understanding of this heterogeneity and flux is limited because of imprecise measurement. A sample of 531 adolescents (55% female; 28% non-Hispanic White; 32% Black; 27% Hispanic; 14% Other) recruited from an ongoing birth cohort study (Mean age = 16.7 years, SD = 0.

Hypothesis: There is a relationship between the amount of ulnar deformity and the presence of radial head dislocation in patients with HMO.
