Early detection of Bone Death (Avascular Necrosis) can reverse the disease

 What is Avascular Necrosis (AVN)?

A disruption in the blood supply to the bones is a symptom of AVN. Hairpin-bent, slender blood capillaries in the hip joint are prone to blockage. The bone eventually dries off and turns lifeless. The joint formed by this dead bone becomes arthritic and harmed as a result. The majority occur in the hip joint leading to hip pain, but they can also occur sometimes in the knee, shoulder, ankle, and other joints. The causes could be:

  • Bone trauma

  • Cancer treatment

  • Congenital conditions


Avascular necrosis symptoms affect the shoulder, knee, hand, and foot, in addition to the hip. Some people experience bilateral avascular necrosis, which can affect both hips and knees. Early avascular necrosis symptoms can be absent in some patients. Your damaged joint may hurt only when you put weight on it as the problem advances. Eventually, the pain could even be felt when you are resting down. Pain can range from mild to severe, and it typically comes on gradually.

Excessive consumption of the following is risky- 

  • High Dose Steroids

  • Alcohol and smoking

  • Long-term use of Bisphosphate


Avascular necrosis treatment can be done in its early stages with minimally invasive stem cell therapy or prescription drugs. Ossgrow or Bone cell therapy is a method where the patient's bone marrow sample, which is rich in stem cells, is aspirated for this treatment and delivered to a lab. Osteoblasts, which make bone, are then isolated and amplified in the laboratory. After removing the dead bone, these amplified and cultured osteoblasts, or bone-forming cells, are implanted, healing the condition completely. 

Conclusion

Reconstructive surgery, if necessary, provides excellent outcomes since early identification with X-ray and MRI and prompt intervention can frequently reverse the condition. Stem cell therapy has been proved to be successful as well.
