Avascular Necrosis (AVN), also known as Osteonecrosis, Aseptic Necrosis, or Ischemic Necrosis, is a degenerative disease which commonly affects the femur- the bone extending from the knee joint to the hip joint.
Hip replacement surgery can help individuals with Avascular Necrosis (AVN) by replacing the damaged joint with an artificial joint. During joint replacement surgery, the damaged joint is removed and replaced with a prosthetic joint made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. The prosthetic joint is designed to replicate the joint’s natural movement and function, allowing for improved mobility and reduced pain.
Hip replacement surgery can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with AVN by reducing pain, increasing mobility, and allowing them to return to their daily activities. If you’re experiencing joint pain or stiffness, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical in managing AVN and preventing further damage to the affected joint.
When considering treatment options for AVN, it is essential to select a surgeon who possesses extensive expertise in the field.
