The article presents the pathomorphological changes in the femoral head tissue of 43 patients infected with Covid-19 who underwent hip replacement surgery. It was found that the more time passes after the illness in patients with Covid-19, the more the pathomorphological changes in the femoral head tissue increase. Hydropic dystrophy of chondrocytes and an increase in the number of necrotic cells are clearly visible. It is noted that fibrous tissue has grown between them.
