It can be found in a few levels, especially in the femoral head and the carpal navicular bone in the adult patient. If the lession is located in the femoral head leads to a hip pain, a very frequent clinical manifestation studied in Primary Health Care centers, so it is very important its early and differential diagnosis, above all, in the case that exist risk factors.
