Abstract
In general, surgical treatments are indicated for severe extremity deformities due to impaired bone growth and fractures due to bone fragility in rickets/osteomalacia patients. Corrective osteotomy and fixation with external fixators, Kirshner's wires, intramedullary nail, plates and casting including epiphysiodesis is performed. For tumor induced osteomalacia patients, excision of causative tumor is indispensable as definitive therapy. In this article, surgical treatments were updated especially for tumor induced osteomalacia.
