Avascular Necrosis (AVN) or Osteonecrosis is a disease in which the blood supply to the femur head (hip bone) is interrupted, causing the death of bone tissue and subsequent joint collapse. In the long run, this is painful, stiff and paralysing of the hip.
AVN can be treated in some cases by medications, physiotherapy, and core decompression surgery, especially in the case of early diagnosis. A Total Hip Replacement can be considered the most appropriate solution to restore mobility and remove pain in cases of the bone surface collapsing in the advanced stages.
You might require AVN treatment in case you have the following;
Core decompression or regenerative treatments can be used to manage AVN at its early stages. Nevertheless, in cases where the bone is already collapsed, hip replacement provides the best and permanent relief to sufferers, as it provides them with pain-free movement of the joint and complete recovery of functional capacity.
Modern surgical techniques allow patients to begin ambulation with assistance within 24-48 hours with the help of new implants. Proper rehabilitation is the way to restore balance and muscle strength in several weeks.
AVN can result from injury, steroid use, alcoholism, or certain medical conditions that restrict blood flow to the bone.
In very early stages, medications and physiotherapy may help, but advanced AVN usually requires surgical intervention.
Yes, total hip replacement completely removes the damaged bone, providing permanent pain relief and restoring mobility.
Avoid steroids, alcohol, and high-impact activities, and follow your doctor’s recommendations for early diagnosis and treatment.
