Temporary hemiepiphysiodesis using eight-plates for angular deformities of the lower extremities in children with X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets.

TH using eight-plates is a safe and effective procedure with a relatively low incidence of complication and rebound, and it could be used as part of a streamlined treatment for younger X-LHPR patients with resistant or progressive lower limb deformity despite optimal medical treatment. Early intervention can achieve better results.
