title: Skeletal disorders in children with renal failure.
abstract: There are relatively few reports concerning management of the musculoskeletal problems of children with renal failure. From a population group of 124 children with renal failure treated at The Children's Hospital, Camperdown, 16 were referred for management of skeletal problems. These problems included genu valgum, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, ankle valgus, procurvatum of the tibia, osteonecrosis, osteochondritis dissecans, "brown tumors," gout, and pathological fracture. The methods of management of these problems are discussed.
