An unusual combination of findings in renal transplantation.

abstract：:Osteonecrosis and osteopenia are widely recognized skeletal complications of therapy in recipients of renal transplants. These conditions are often complicated by fractures, usually in the femora, pelvis or vertebrae. The authors describe two sedentary adult allograft recipients who presented with leg pain and in whom...
