Abstract
Hypophosphatasia is a rare genetic metabolic disorder characterised by defective bone mineralisation secondary to serum and bone alkaline phosphatase deficiency. We report a 46-year-old woman who underwent multiple intramedullary nailings for fractures and deformities of 6 long bones over 13 years.
