Aim -To identify and early diagnose AVN of hip joint in post covid 19 patients presenting with hip pain. Materials and methods- 20 patients were evaluated over a 12-month period to investigate avascular bone necrosis (AVN) in COVID-19 patients with hip joint pain. The inclusion criteria consisted of a positive COVID-19 PCR test and concurrent hip joint pain, while prior hip joint injury, steroid treatment history, and severe chronic illnesses were among the exclusion criteria. Results- The study found that the mean interval between the onset of initial symptoms and the MRI examination was 2–4 weeks. Conclusion- Early diagnosis through MRI plays a vital role in enhancing patient care and potentially averting the need for surgical interventions in post-COVID-19 individuals with hip pain. |
