 AB    Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head has been described in the
       literature in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus.
       It has been associated with either a hypertriglyceridemic state or the
       presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. We describe a case of AVN of
       the medial femoral condyle in an HIV-infected patient associated with a
       hypertriglyceridemic state.
