Abstract
Osteonecrosis is a known complication of steroid use. It is can be avoided by judicious use of steroids and potentially treatable if recognized early. Conventional radiography detects advanced disease. It usually affects a single joint, however rarely it can involve multiple joints, especially in patients receiving corticosteroids. Here we present a case of multifocal osteonecrosis in a patient of systemic lupus erythematosus on chronic steroid use who was detected at an advanced stage.
