Avascular Necrosis Treatment In Ramamurthy Nagar
Contact : +917892141002
Avascular necrosis (AVN), also known as osteonecrosis, is a condition characterized by the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply. This disruption in blood flow can lead to the collapse of the affected bone and eventually joint damage. AVN commonly affects the hip, knee, shoulder, and ankle joints, though it can occur in any bone. The exact cause of AVN can vary, but it often results from trauma, excessive steroid use, alcohol abuse, or certain medical conditions such as sickle cell disease or lupus. Symptoms of AVN may include pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the affected joint. Treatment options depend on the stage and severity of the condition but may include medication, physical therapy, and surgical interventions such as core decompression or joint replacement. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial in managing AVN and preventing further complications.
