Evidence

A small case series suggests that hip and knee arthroplasties are effective in treating arthritis associated with XLH, but osteotomy may also be required if there is severe deformity (Larson AN et al, J Arthroplasty 2010; 25: 1099-1103). Other small case series report correction of lower limb deformities with osteotomy,  external fixation and insertion of an intramedullary nail (Kocaoglu M et al, J Bone Joint Surg Br 2011; 93: 52-56, Song HR et al, Acta Orthop 2006; 77: 307-314) . Correction of deformity has also incuded leg lengthening using distraction osteogenesis by Ilizarov or Heidelberg external fixation (Matsubara H et al, Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2008; 128: 1137-1143, Choi IH et al, J Pediatr Orthop 2002; 22: 626-631).

Original uncertainty examples Surgical interventions: For whom? When? Which techniques? Pharmacological pre-treatment? ~ Why does my femurs get thinner because of rods? ~ Do knee/hip replacements help in the short or long term? ~ Surgery - should one have bone grafting in e.g. Tibia  ?  If so - what sort of graft?   If a nail is put into , say, tibia ,should it be taken out at some stage? ~ Will it be a good idea to see an orthopedic surgeon to follow up on the surgeries I had many years ago?
