Whenever hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is diagnosed, it is imperative to search for the underlying pathology. The disorder is usually associated with a primary pulmonary lesion and periostitis and paresthesias of the lower extremities. Recognizing and understanding the primary pathology is essential to the effective treatment of secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy.
