Where AVN can affects joints, Symptoms & Causes of AVN | How Stem Cells Help Heal Avascular Necrosis
Avascular Necrosis (AVN), also known as Osteonecrosis, is a painful and progressive condition caused by reduced blood supply to the bone, leading to cellular death and structural decay. While it most commonly affects the hip joint, other areas such as the knee, shoulder, elbow, sacroiliac, and clavicular joints may also be involved.
The causes can vary from smoking, alcohol use, trauma, post-COVID effects, and drug side effects, to sickle cell disease and thalassemia. Traditionally, AVN has been managed through surgical interventions, but with advancements in regenerative medicine, there is now a promising non-surgical approach.
At StemRx Hospital, Stem Cell Therapy is being used to restore blood flow, regenerate bone tissue, and repair joint function. Stem cells have the unique potential to differentiate into bone and vascular cells, helping in the natural healing and regeneration of affected bones.
This scientific approach not only helps relieve pain but also enhances mobility, delays or prevents the need for surgery, and improves overall joint health.
