A close up of a person's legs with a blue and white design on them

In landscape format image, it is possible to observe a striking comparison between two legs: To the left, a healthy leg displays a straight, robust bone structure, with the tibia and fibula aligned naturally. in contrast, on the right, the leg affected by X-Linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH) presents visible deformities. The lower leg bones, especially the tibia and fibula, are significantly arched outward, resulting in a pronounced curvature. This characteristic is a typical manifestation of XLH, where phosphate deficiency compromises bone mineralization, making bones more fragile and prone to deformities. Visual comparison clearly highlights the physical challenges faced by individuals with XLH, highlighting the crucial importance of early diagnosis and specialized treatment to mitigate the impacts of this chronic condition.
