Objectives. Osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head is a devastating complication occurring in patients receiving corticosteroid treatment. This study examined the effect of three corticosteroids on the development of ON in rabbits.Methods. Thirty-nine rabbits were injected once intramuscularly with either 25 mg/kg prednisolone sodium succinate (PSL; 13 rabbits), 20 mg/kg methylprednisolone acetate (MPSL; 13 rabbits) or 20 mg/kg triamcinolone acetonide (TR; 13 rabbits). Four weeks after corticosteroid injection, the bilateral femora and humeri were examined histopathologically for the presence of ON. Haematological examinations were performed before and after corticosteroid injection.Results. MPSL treatment (17/26 proximal femora, 65%) significantly increased ON incidence in the proximal femora compared with the levels seen after TR (4/26, 15%) or PSL (3/26, 12%) treatment (P
