Cure Avascular Necrosis?
What is Avascular Necrosis? Avascular Necrosis
is a localised bone disease where the bone
dies due to lack of blood supply. Given the bone
cells need a steady supply of blood, lack of
blood supply weakens the bone which fails to
function normally and eventually collapses
(dies). Avascular Necrosis can happen to any bone
anywhere and when this happens to a bone near a
joint, the joint collapses. Also called
osteonecrosis, this condition can happen to any
bone near any joint but most commonly it happens
to the hip bone. While the stats in India are not
known, every year around 20,000 people in the US
are affected by Avascular Necrosis to bone in the
hip joint.

Avascular Necrosis to Hip Hip
Osteonecrosis The hip joint is a ball and
socket joint formed by acetabulum (socket) in the
pelvis and femoral head (ball on the thigh bone).
Both surfaces are lined by cartilage that helps
in the smooth gliding of the hip joint. When the
blood supply to the femoral head is disrupted,
the head and eventually the cartilage collapses
leading to the painful condition of hip
osteonecrosis. Symptoms Causes This disease
progresses in four stages and symptoms start with
hip pain, followed by the intense throbbing in
the hip and the groin. As the necrosis progresses
it can become difficult to walk or even stand. It
can take around a year for the disease to
progress which happens in four stages. Injury,
damage to the blood vessels, fracture, excessive
alcohol usage, long term usage of
corticosteroids, or chronic medical conditions
are some of the common causes of Avascular
Necrosis.
