A case is reported of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy with recovery after a liver graft in a young man with end stage cholestatic cirrhosis related to non-Wilsonian copper overload. To our knowledge this is the first case in the literature illustrating the curative role of liver grafting on hypertrophic osteoarthropathy associated with chronic cholestatic liver disease.
