abstract：:While sickle cell disease (SCD) is generally mild in most Kuwaitis, because of their elevated fetal Hb levels, avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVNFH) appears to be a common complication. It was recently documented in 26.7% of Kuwaiti children with SCD. There have, however, been no previous studies of adult pat...
