A Comprehensive Review of COVID-19-Infection- and Steroid-Treatment-Associated Bone Avascular Necrosis: A Multi-Study Analysis.

The association between steroid therapy for COVID-19 and the development of hip AVN is a noteworthy concern even though no relationship is evident between the duration of treatment, cumulative dosage of medication, maximum daily dosage received, and presence of AVN. Further research with larger cohorts and long-term follow up is needed to better understand the causative relationship and optimal management strategies for hip AVN in the context of COVID-19 and steroid therapy.
