[Osteo-articular complications of sickle-cell-anemia in adult].
Osteo-articular complications of sickle cell anaemia in adult are represented by bone marrow infarcts, osteomyelitis and osteonecrosis of femoral and humeral heads. The frequency and/or the severity of these complications provide a great functional disability in young patients whose life expectancy is growing. A well adapted treatment would may limit the sequels.
