AVN of the femoral head occurs in 60-75% of patients with femoral neck fractures, 25% of patients with hip dislocations, and 15-40% of patients with a slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Osteonecrosis is a complicating factor in 10-15% of patients with a scaphoid fracture. Osteonecrosis associated with SLE occurs in 5-6% of patients; some estimates are as high as 40%. Changes within the shoulder girdle are reported in 1-3% of patients undergoing radiation therapy for breast carcinoma."
