Abstract
Steroid-related osteonecrosis of the knee has been only rarely reported, especially without concomitant hip involvement. Two such cases are documented with correlated roentgenographic and magnetic resonance imaging. A comprehensive review of the literature illustrates the diverse circumstances in which this rare condition may occur.
