Act before the Attack comes!
Like heart, if the blood supply to the bone (femoral head of Hip joint) gets damaged it can lead to complete collapse of the Hip Joint. This condition is called AVASCULAR NECROSIS.
Avascular Necrosis (AVN) is a cellular death of bone component, which occurs when the blood supply to the bones is temporarily or permanently blocked. In the absence of blood, bone tissues die and bone collapses. If this condition isn’t treated, it leads to severe pain, resulting in Arthritis. Avascular Necrosis is also called Osteonecrosis or Aseptic Necrosis. Different stages of osteonecrosis can be distinguished of which stages I & II represent the stages before fracture and stages III & IV the stages after fracture. This condition leads to arthritis and joint gets damaged.
Data suggested that AVN is the main cause (over 49%) of Hip Replacement in India and also AVN is 5 times more common in males than female.
AVN is most common in hip and shoulder, but can affect other large joints as well.
There are many causes of AVN. Anything that damages the blood supply to the hip can cause AVN.
1) Steroid = Take the advice from your physician about the risks involved
2) Alcohol = 400 cc per week can increase the risk by 140 times
3) Trauma = If you have a history of hip fracture, risk of AVN increases
4) Lifestyle = Sedentary lifestyle can increase the risk
AVN Symptoms
The main symptoms of AVN is pain when you put weight on your hip. The initial symptoms are usually felt during activity and include pain or aching in the affected joint. Symptoms usually begin slowly and may initially be sporadic. Sometimes, the pain may begin quite suddenly.
