Background
Etiologies
- Traumatic causes
- Femoral neck fracture/Dislocation
- Non-traumatic causes
- Use of Corticosteriods, Alcohol, Tobacco
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
- Chronic Kidney Disease
- Pancreatitis
- Radiation therapy
- HIV
- Caisson Disease aka Dysbarism
- Idiopathic
Clinical Features
Differential Diagnosis
Evaluation
- Plain XR is poorly sensitive in early stages, as low as 41%
- Radiographic changes may be delayed by years
- MRI ~90% sensitivity and specificity
Disposition
- Initial supportive care until later stages of disease
- Orthopedic consultation for repeat imaging and risk stratification for surgical treatment
