Abstract
Steroid-induced osteonecrosis is unpredictable and highly morbid. MEDLINE (Ovid) and PubMed search for relevant literature. Oral steroid doses typically considered to be associated with the condition are >20 mg of prednisone (or equivalent) per day or >2 g within a period of 2 to 3 months. Symptoms may be vague. Dermatologists must exercise a high degree of clinical suspicion and warn patients about steroid-related risks and conditions for follow-up. \copyright The Author(s) 2015.
