SHORT-TERM RESULTS OF CORE DECOMPRESSION OF POST-COVID FEMORAL HEAD ASEPTIC NECROSIS

The coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (COVID-19) pandemic has stimulated an unprecedented response by the global scientific community to better understand the disease. However, many questions about SARS-CoV-2 remain unanswered. Various hypotheses have been formulated in regard to its pathogenetic mechanisms. One of them single nucleotide polymorphisms in various genes encode for proinflammatory proteins, such as IL-1b, IL-6 and IL-8, which may affect biological activity and contribute to hypercoagulability in COVID-19 patients, thereby increasing the risk of thrombosis of femoral head vessels and its aseptic necrosis or avascular necrosis(AVN).
