Case Discussion
MR picture of spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee.
Previously spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee was considered a primary osteonecrosis with no related cause, but now the presumed etiology is being an insufficiency fracture of the subchondral bone. SONK is seen more frequently in women with osteoporosis and of older age.
