Knee Osteonecrosis After SARS-CoV-2 Virus Infection

Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved..

ABSTRACT: Osteonecrosis after COVID-19 infection is a complex pathology with multifactorial origin. Factors such as infection itself with associated coagulopathy, as well as genetic mechanisms, and medications used for its treatment such as corticosteroids, may also be involved. The variability in the presentation makes diagnosis difficult, which, if done soon, can help delay progression and reduce morbidity and the need for surgery.This report presents a case of knee osteonecrosis in a female patient who did not have previous knee pathology on imaging tests. She was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging months after hospital admission for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, which required high-dose corticosteroid treatment.
