Abstract Background Human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients are 100 times more likely to develop aseptic osteonecrosis compared with the general population. While 90% of cases concern the femoral head, the involvement of humeral bone remains rare. Case presentation We report a case of aseptic osteonecrosis of the left humeral head complicating antiretroviral therapy in a female, 46-year-old, Bissau-Guinean human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient received in a context of progressive pain in the left shoulder followed by limitation of articular movements. Standard x-ray of the shoulder allowed us to make the diagnosis by showing a typical image of osteonecrosis. The treatment was medical combined with physiotherapy. Conclusions Aseptic osteonecrosis should be systematically looked for in human immunodeficiency virus patients on antiretroviral treatment. In addition to femoral head aseptic necrosis, the involvement of the humeral bone should also be considered.

The biomaterial studied here is a composite associating a mineral phase of an intimate nanoscale melting of hydroxyapatite and beta tri calcium phosphate and an aqueous phase containing a synthetic polymer derived from cellulose HPMC (hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose), marketed under name MBCP Gel (FDA approval, Biomatlante manufacturer). The present exploratory study aim was to study the safety of MBCP-gel, and to determine in the osseous healthy area the performance of MBCP gel. We expected to prove bone ingrowth into the osseous cavities created during drilling biopsy of the aseptic osteonecrosis of femoral head. The current results obtained in the first two patients with 1 year follow up demonstrate the resorption and bone ingrowth with trabecular bone architecture in the hole created into the femoral neck.
