title: Unilateral lower extremity hypertrophic osteoarthropathy associated with aortic graft infection.
abstract: We have reported a case of unilateral lower extremity hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) associated with vascular graft infection, and have reviewed previous reports of this association. Knowledge of this association may lead to earlier diagnosis of graft infection in patients with clinical evidence of HOA.
