Özet

Both human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and antiretroviral therapy are related to an increased risk of fracture. As a result of the developments in HIV treatment in recent years, life expectancy in HIV-infected patients has increased. Therefore, HIV-related musculoskeletal problems such as osteoporosis and avascular necrosis are more common currently. There are complex mechanisms in HIV-related osteoporosis. The loss of bone mineral density is particularly distinctive in the first months of the therapy. In this report, we present a 54-year-old woman admitted to our clinic with right thigh pain for three months and diagnosed with a femoral neck stress fracture.
