Abstract
SUMMARY Osseous involvement in scurvy is unusual in older children even though classical bony changes are well recognized in the infantile variety. This report describes two children with scurvy, aged 6 and 8 years, both of whom presented with bone pains and associated swelling. One child also had a pathological telescoping diaphyseal fracture—a complication not previously described in association with scurvy.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
