Abstract
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) is a multifactorial pathology, and one of its etiologies is the use of steroids to treat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Imaging studies diagnose ANFH. During and after the COVID-19 pandemic, an association was found between the onset of ANFH and the use of steroids as a treatment. The treatment of avascular necrosis is arthroplasty, which can be performed unilaterally or bilaterally in a single surgical session.
