Abstract

Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a condition characterized by limited mobility, discomfort, and changes in walking patterns due to insufficient blood supply in this region. Our objective is to investigate the possible connection between COVID-19 and AVN. In this study, we detail the case of a 41-year-old male patient who developed AVN in both femoral heads after contracting COVID-19. The mere occurrence of a COVID-19 infection and the use of corticosteroids for its treatment may increase the probability of AVN in the femoral head. Hence, post the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to consider AVN vigilantly for timely detection and treatment.

COVID-19 感染的长期副作用;SPECT/CT 骨闪烁成像中的股骨头骨坏死。
股骨头血管性坏死(AVN)是一种因该区域供血不足而导致活动受限、不适和行走方式改变的疾病。我们的目的是研究 COVID-19 与股骨头坏死之间可能存在的联系。在本研究中,我们详细介绍了一名 41 岁男性患者的病例,该患者在感染 COVID-19 后,双侧股骨头出现了 AVN。感染 COVID-19 并使用皮质类固醇治疗可能会增加股骨头发生 AVN 的几率。因此,在 COVID-19 大流行之后,必须警惕 AVN,以便及时发现和治疗。
