Vitamin D-resistant hypophosphatemic rickets is an X-linked genetic disorder that presents with varying degrees of bone deformities that usually involve the tibia and femur. The deformities affect the patient's quality of life and restrict their ability to ambulate, resulting in significant psychological distress. In this report, we present an adult case of hypophosphatemic rickets with severe bilateral tibial bowing, treated with multiple osteotomies and intramedullary nail fixation, resulting in marked improvement in ambulation.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
