Abstract
Atraumatic bone fractures are a frequent complication in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). A retrospective study of 91 adult OLT patients was carried out to detect the prevalence of bone fractures, and to isolate predictive factors for their development. After OLT 22 patients (24%) developed 56 atraumatic bone fractures. All fractures occurred within the first 13 months following OLT. No predictive pre- or post-OLT risk factors for the development of bone fractures were identified.Entities:
