(A) Coronal STIR (short T1 inversion recovery) of the right hip before treatment with HBO showing geographic subarticular area of high-signal intensity (arrow) with no collapse of the head of the femur (stage II). (B) Coronal STIR (short T1 inversion recovery) of the right hip after treatment showing complete resolution of the previously seen subarticular high-signal intensity suggests complete radiological resolution of avascular necrosis.

AVN of both femurs and right shoulder (Figures 1A, 2A, 3A). Apart from SCD, there were no other risk factors for AVN. Post-treatment MRI showed total resolution of the previously noted geographic subarticular high-signal intensities of both hip joints and right shoulder joint denoting complete resolution (Figures 1B, 2B, 3B) of the AVN in affected joints.

(A) Axial STIR (short T1 inversion recovery) of the right shoulder before treatment with HBO showing geographic subarticular area of high-signal intensity (arrow) with no collapse of the head of the femur (stage II). (B) Axial STIR (short T1 inversion recovery) of the right shoulder after treatment showing complete resolution of the previously seen subarticular high-signal intensity suggests complete radiological resolution of avascular necrosis.
