description INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many people around the world with its primary and secondary consequences. The use of high-dose steroids in its treatment brought along steroid-related femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN) complication. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of bilaterally developed femoral head AVN following COVID-19 infection in a patient with sickle cell disease (SCD), without the history of steroid use. CONCLUSION: With this case report, we aimed to raise awareness that COVID-19 infection may trigger AVN of the hip joint in SCD patients.
