Avascular Necrosis of head of femur (AVN)

It is also called osteonecrosis, aseptic necrosis, or ischemic bone necrosis, is a condition that occurs when there is loss of blood supply to the bone. Because bone is living tissue that requires blood, an interruption to the blood supply causes bone to die. If not stopped, this process eventually causes the bone to collapse.

Avascular necrosis most commonly occurs in the hip. Other common sites are the shoulder, knee and ankle.

Causes of Avascular necrosis include:

Dislocation or fracture of the thigh bone (femur) - This type of injury can affect the blood supply to the bone, leading to trauma-related avascular necrosis

Chronic corticosteroid use - Long-term use of this allopathic.

Excessive alcohol use

Blood clots, inflammation and damage to artery. All of these can block blood flow to the bones.

Anaemia

HIV/AIDS

Old age

Symptoms of Avascular Necrosis

In its early stages, AVN typically cause no symptoms; however, as the disease progresses it becomes painful. At first, you may experience pain when you put pressure on the affected bone. Then, pain may become more constant. If the disease progresses and the bone and surrounding joint collapse, you may experience severe pain that interferes with your ability to use your joint. The time between the first symptoms and collapse of the bone may range from several months to more than a year
