Abstract:
Authors report a rare case of localized osteonecrosis occuring in the medial femoral condyle induced by prolonged steroid administration in a 48 years old male who had kidney transplantation surgery. Initially, he experienced clinical symptoms of discomfort and recurring effusion of both knees after transplantation surgery which did not respond, at all, to conservative treatment even in its early stage.
