During the COVID-19 epidemic, there is a possibility of developing osteonecrosis (avascular necrosis) of the hip in patients who used high-dose cortisone (steroid) with respiratory distress. Publications report a high rate of osteonecrosis due to cortisone in the SARS epidemic in 2013. We have seen a similar situation in orthopedic clinics, and it seems to increase gradually.
