Osteonecrosis of the Knee: The Unintended Consequence of Steroid Abuse
We describe a male, aged 29 years, who presented with dull aching bilateral knee pain of 2-years' duration after a long-term steroid abuse for weight and muscle mass gain. Radiological and magnetic resonance imaging studies confirmed osteonecrosis of femoral and tibial condyles and secondary degenerative arthritis of the knee joint. Prompt suspicion, early diagnosis, and intervention in osteonecrosis of knee joints, and termination of steroids may reverse the pathology and prevent progression of disease.PMID:38609146 | DOI:10.3121/cmr.2024.1855
