Multifocal osteonecrosis -- a case report.
The pathogenesis of idiopathic multifocal osteonecrosis is poorly understood. It is difficult to diagnose with conventional radiography or computed tomography and poses a great management challenge. A case of idiopathic multifocal osteonecrosis is presented in a young boy illustrating the difficulties in the management of such patients.
