Abstract
HIV-infected patients are at approximately 100-fold greater risk of developing osteonecrosis than the general population. Disease progression is slower in asymptomatic patients than in symptomatic patients. Given the high frequency of total hip replacement in symptomatic patients, studies to assess preventive and treatment strategies are essential.
