Lower limb deformity correction in X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) with intramedullary nails: A strategy to reduce deformity recurrence and improve limb function
IN-based deformity correction of lower limbs in XLH provides effective, long-term correction with low recurrence. Despite frequent complications, most patients experience functional improvement. Nail retention is recommended to prevent fractures and recurrences.
