Aplastic anemia is rare hematological disorder with approximate incidence 1.5-7 cases per million individuals per year. Osteonecrosis, a frequently seen in patients with aplastic anemia. With improved treatment modalities, the life expectancy of patients with aplastic anemia has increased considerably, so are the patients undergoing surgery for various pathologies.
