J. Taillandier et al., HEPATIC HYPERTROPHIC OSTEOARTHROPATHY - THE VALUE OF LIVER-TRANSPLANTATION, Clinical and experimental rheumatology, 16(1), 1998, pp. 80-81
We describe 4 cases of hepatic hypertrophic osteoarthropathy treated s
uccessfully by liver transplantation. Hepatic hypertrophic osteoarthro
pathy is a rare and disabling condition associated with severe liver d
iseases. It responds poorly to conservative management, and liver tran
splantation is the only radical treatment option.
