Ziraldo, Laura and O'Connor, MB and Blake, Simon B and Phelan, Mark J (2011) Osteonecrosis following alcohol, cocaine, and steroid use. Substance Abuse, 32, pp. 170-173. https://doi.org/10.1080/08897077.2011.562751.

Alcohol, steroids and cocaine have all been shown to be independent risk factors for osteonecrosis when taken in excess. Here we present a case of a young girl who developed debilitating osteonecrosis secondary to lowdoses of alcohol, steroids and cocaine.We feel it is important to highlight to those caring for such patients of the potential devastating complication of these three agents.
