 This is Dr. Sanjay Prasad Higde, Senior Consultant of Orthopedics at Columbia I-Shows in Whitefield, Bangalore. Today I am going to talk in brief about osteo naproces of our bone death in the case of COVID. This usually occurs when a steroid is given for a long duration in any patient but of late we have been observing this in COVID patients who have received steroid for shorter duration. The risk of this osteo naproces of the femoral head, that is the hip, ball and ball, increases with every 10 mg in dosage by about 3.6%. So having said this, we need more data to conclusively prove that this short term steroid prednisolone can cause an AVN in COVID patients. Thank you.
