Summary
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can cause bone issues like aseptic osteonecrosis (AON) and periostitis. This case highlights risk factors contributing to bone ischemia in SLE patients.
Area of Science:
- Rheumatology
- Orthopedics
- Radiology
Background:
- Bone complications are common in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), stemming from both the disease and its treatments.
- Aseptic osteonecrosis (AON) and periostitis are significant skeletal manifestations.
- Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a less common, but serious, skeletal manifestation.
