Rehabilitation of Patients with Aseptic Necrosis of The Femoral Head After Coronavirus Infection

Abstract

Avascular necrosis of the femur is an irreversible and painful disorder in which the epiphyseal bone suffers from ischemia necrosis owing to an interruption in blood flow to the femoral head, resulting in bone destruction. Later, it leads to osteoarthritis of the hip joint. Here, we present the case of a 35-year-old male who came with a complaint of pain on the left side of the hip region for the past 15 days. Since the patient tested positive for COVID-19, he was quarantine.
