Abstract
In a material of 197 consecutive renal allotransplanted patients, 15 patients developed femoral head necrosis on X-ray examination. Eleven of these patients developed the femoral head necrosis ipsilateral to the renal allograft. It is therefore suggested that the altered haemodynamics caused by the transplantation may be of pathogenic importance in the development of the femoral head necrosis.Keywords
