Abstract:
Avascular necrosis (AVN ) is a condition that occurs due to obstruction of blood flow to the joints, resulting from various causes like embolic, thrombotic or traumatic events . However Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an underrecognized yet significant cause of AVN occurring in approximately 10% of scd patients .This condition arises from a state of decreased blood supply to hip joint due to abnormally sickle shaped red blood cells undergoing destruction in spleen and hence decreased oxygen carrying capacity and oxygen supply to the hip joints. SCD is one of the most common causes of hemoglobinopathies worldwide.(1) This case report presents an unusual instance of AVN of hip joints as the initial presentation of SCD ,implying the importance of investigating for hemoglobinopathies in patients presenting with unexplained AVN.
