Osteonecrosis-An Emerging Challenge of Post COVID-19 Sequalae
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Our case report aims to present a rare interesting case on osteonecrosis associated with COVID-19 infection. We retrospectively evaluated this case after the patient underwent surgical management. In our patient, AVN was found to be developed secondary to COVID-19 infection. Infection with coronavirus confers a hypercoagulable state leading to various systemic complications. So, we suggest proper studies should be done to understand the physiopathology of COVID-19 to prevent complications and to improve supportive care during treatment.
