Avascular necrosis of femoral head, blood supply, causes, investigation, treatment | AVN hip joint

Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head / Osteonecrosis of the femoral head Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVN) is an increasingly common cause of musculoskeletal disability, and it poses a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Although patients are initially asymptomatic, AVN usually progresses to joint destruction, requiring total hip replacement, usually before the fifth decade. Avascular necrosis is characterized by osseous cell death due to vascular compromise. Avascular necrosis of bone results generally from corticosteroid use, trauma, pancreatitis, alcoholism, radiation, sickle cell disease, infiltrative diseases (e.g. Gaucher’s disease), and Caisson disease. The most commonly affected site is the femoral head and patients usually present with hip and referred knee pain. in this lecture we discussed about : causes of avn of hip joint etiopathogenesis of avn blood supply of femoral head investigation for avn of femoral head treatment of avn of femoral head Osteonecrosis of the femoral head, previously known as avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip, is the most common site for osteonecrosis, presumably due to a combination of precarious blood supply and high loading when standing. Idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral head epiphysis in children (Perthes disease) is typically considered separately; thus the remainder of the article pertains to osteonecrosis in the skeletally mature population. #medicos #avnofhip #aiims
