Abstract
In a patient with Crohn's enteritis treated with oral corticosteroids simultaneous Kienböck's disease and femoral head osteonecrosis developed 2 years after the administration of corticosteroids. The patient had no history of trauma or any other risk factor known to be associated with Kienböck's disease. This case suggests that corticosteroid administration may be an additional factor in the multifactorial causes of Kienböck's disease.Entities:
