The condition which characteristically shows bone infarcts is:
Bone marrow infarcts are frequent causes of pain in sickle cell anaemia. The heads of the femur and humerus are susceptible to avascular necrosis, a potential source of constant pain and disability. Ischemic bone becomes susceptible to bacterial osteomyelitis. Joint effusions and occasionally hemahrosis may be seen adjacent to infarcted bones. Ref: Kato G.J., Gladwin M.T. (2005). Chapter 108.
