Aim

To assess the efficacy of combined medical and surgical management in obtaining normal lower limb mechanical alignment in a patient cohort with genotypically similar hypophosphataemic rickets.

Methods

A notes and radiograph audit was performed of all patients attending our institution with hypophosphataemic rickets: a subset with PHEX gene anomalies was studied further. Lower limb radiographs were assessed at two points during childhood and note made of treatment start, compliance; indication, timing and result of surgery. Standing leg alignment radiographs were measured at skeletal maturity or at latest review.
