Severe bilateral knee osteonecrosis in a young man with human immunodeficiency virus.


ABSTRACT: We present a young man with a background Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who presented with bilateral knee pain and reduced mobility. Subsequent imaging of the knees demonstrated florid osteonecrosis (ON), which was managed conservatively. ON is seen more commonly in HIV patients than the general population, however the underlying mechanism for this association is remains unclear. An awareness of this disease is imperative to appropriately identify and manage such patients.
