Just to clarify, the iron overload killed my femoral heads before ATG, so it definitely wasn't the ATG or the prednisone that caused the osteonecrosis (osteonecrosis = AVN = avascular necrosis). It's not uncommon for people with iron overload caused by genetic haemachromatosis to end up with osteonecrosis of the femoral heads. Exjade would've been a blessing ten years ago!
