Abstract
This manuscript describes the successful treatment of a steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the humeral head using arthroscopically assisted retrograde drilling of a stage II lesion using a guiding device. At the final follow-up 19 month post-operatively, the patient presented pain-free without functional limitations although the osteonecrosis had not been fully healed.
