Breaking Down Avascular Necrosis: Understanding and Treating Bone Death

Avascular necrosis 

Is a disease arising as result of temporary or permanent blood loss supply to the bone. When the blood supply is cut off, the bone tissue dies and the bone collapses. If avascular necrosis happens near a joint, the joint surface may collapse. It can happen on any joint but is most seen at the end of long bones. 


Causes 


Avascular necrosis occurs reduction of blood flow to a bone. Reduced blood supply can be   caused due to  


  • Joint or bone trauma 

  • Cancer treatments involving radiation  

  • Fatty deposits in blood vessels 

  • Medical conditions, such as sickle cell anemia 


Symptoms 


Some won't have symptoms at the early stages of avascular necrosis but the condition gets worse while putting weight on joints. Slowly the pain will increase and you might feel it while lying down also. Pain can be mild or severe. It develops gradually. Pain associated with avascular necrosis of the hip might center on the thigh or groin. Besides the hip, the shoulder, hand knee, and foot can be affected. Some people can develop avascular necrosis on both sides, such as in the hips or both knees. 


Avascular necrosis Treatment 


  • Medication  

  • Therapy: rest, exercise, electrical stimulation  

  • Surgical and other procedures: Bone transplant, bone osteotomy, Joint replacement, Regenerative medicine treatment. 


Risk factors  


  • Trauma  

  • Use of Steroid  

  • Drinking too much alcohol  

  • Certain medical treatments which include radiation therapy 

 

Conclusion


Untreated, avascular necrosis worsens and can collapse. Avascular necrosis also can lead to loss of the smooth shape of the bone which eventually can lead to severe arthritis. Avascular necrosis treatment in India has proved the best among all the countries.  Avascular necrosis treatment in Mumbai, Avascular necrosis treatment in Pune, and Avascular necrosis treatment in Hyderabad have a high success rate as per the research done.
