title: Hepatic hypertrophic osteoarthropathy: the value of liver transplantation.
abstract: We describe 4 cases of hepatic hypertrophic osteoarthropathy treated successfully by liver transplantation. Hepatic hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is a rare and disabling condition associated with severe liver diseases. It responds poorly to conservative management, and liver transplantation is the only radical treatment option.
