Case 6 received conventional therapy at the time of guided growth. Mean correction of degrees per month as well as mean MAD correction in mm per month are listed above. Correction rate per year shows the number of degrees within a year. Reference values for correction rates in children without XLH are shown on the right-hand side (19, 20). Children with XLH with Burosumab treatment show fast correction rate compared to a significantly younger conventional treated child and compared to norm groups in literature.

Cases 2, 3 and 4 underwent temporary hemiepiphysiodesis during Burosumab therapy.
