Background: A persistent infection triggered by Mycobacterium leprae is also known as leprosy or Hansen's disease, transmitting by tiny droplets of the nose and mouth to the skin and peripheral nerves, producing disability. Leprosy therapy is based on the combination of the rifampicin, dispone and clofazimine (MDT) three-drug regimen. In patients who undergo hormone therapy, avascular femoral necrosis (ANFH) or femoral head osteonecrosis (ONFH) may occur, causing steroid-induced femoral head avascular necrosis (SANFH) Core decompression (CD) reduces bone pressure, opens the hardening area, prevents osteonecrosis repair, promotes blood vessel development through the tunnel for decompression, increases bone replacement and delays osteonecrosis. Patient information, diagnosis and therapeutic interventions: In this case, we found a 20 years old girl known case of leprosy, was on corticosteroids for two and half years. After an increase in dosage of corticosteroids she began difficult for her walk and do her activities of daily living. She visited Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital (AVBRH), DMIMS (DU) Sawangi Meghe, Wardha, Maharashtra, India where she got to know about necrosis of head of femur of both lower limbs. She underwent core decompression surgery of bilateral femoral head. For further management she was referred to Physiotherapy Department. Outcomes and Conclusion: this case, we found that a patient who is young who had Midshaft femur fracture with interlock nailing and sever kinesiophobia, affecting rehabilitation, was able to resume her ADLs independently.
