Unlabelled: X-linked hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets can induce various multiplanar deformities of the lower limb. We evaluated our ability to correct these deformities and assessed complications and recurrence rates in 10 children (eight girls and a pair of twin boys) followed from early childhood to skeletal maturity. We performed 37 corrective operations in 10 children. Depending on the patient's age, external fixation was used in 53 segments: Kirschner wires in 18, DynaFix in three, the Taylor Spatial Frame device in 13, and the Ilizarov device in 19. Internal fixation with intramedullary nailing was performed in 12. After bone consolidation, we radiographically determined the mechanical axis at an average distance of 0.5 cm medial to the center of the knee. The average mechanical lateral distal femoral angle was 85 degrees (range, 83 degrees-92 degrees) and the average mechanical medial proximal tibial angle was 91 degrees (range, 85 degrees-92 degrees). Deviation of the mechanical axis and knee orientation lines was increased at the followups conducted during a period of 5 to 12 months. Additional followups revealed a recurrence rate of 90% after the first corrective procedure and 60% after a second procedure.

X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH), the most common form of hereditary rickets, is characterized by renal phosphate wasting and abnormal vitamin D metabolism due to elevated circulating levels of the phosphatonin fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Dominant inactivating variants of the phosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked (), gene are present in patients with XLH, and more than half of affected patients carry de novo variants. We report on 3 families in whom affected members had highly unusual pathogenic variants.

Article Synopsis
- - SLC4A1-dRTA is a rare genetic form of renal tubular acidosis that often leads to bone issues like rickets or osteomalacia, impacting patients' daily lives.
- - A study evaluated the bone microstructure of 11 SLC4A1-dRTA patients and found significant skeletal problems, including lower bone density and more severe bone deterioration compared to healthy individuals and patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH).
- - The research highlighted the common occurrence of skeletal symptoms in SLC4A1-dRTA and emphasized the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, as patients showed improvement in bone pain and height with long-term alkaline therapy.

Introduction: Hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder marked by end-organ resistance of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D secondary to various mutations in the vitamin D receptor gene. The currently accepted treatment modality involves bypassing the affected receptors in the gut with high-dose intravenous calcium. In a few limited case reports, cinacalcet, a calcimimetic, has been used as an adjunctive therapy.

Article Synopsis
- Hypophosphatemic rickets is a genetic disease that is often confused with other conditions, making it hard for people to get the right treatment and support.
- The study presents eight patient cases, covering different types of hypophosphatemic rickets, and emphasizes the need for better genetic testing and proper diagnosis.
- The authors aim to make people more aware of this disease, encourage better medical practices, and push for fair access to newer treatments like burosumab.
