Spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee was first described by Ahlbck et al in 1968 as the spontaneous and sudden onset of severe pain, usually on the medial side of the knee joint, in old age(>60 years) with no specific etiologic factors. They differentiate the disease from osteochondritis dissecans, osteoarthritis, fracture, infection, neuropathic joint and secondary osteonecrosis of the knee joint. So far many investigators described this disease but had never observed cases developed in young patient with familial occurrence. The report presented here is a case of spontaneous osteonecrosis of both medial and lateral femoral condyles involving the bilateral knee joint that were treated by arthorscopic loose body removal and multiple drilling.
