Osteonecrosis is a degenerative bone disease brought on by a change in subchondral blood flow and characterized by the loss of bone cellular components. Other names for it include ischemic bone necrosis, aseptic necrosis, and avascular necrosis. Long bones' epiphyses in weight-bearing joints are typically impacted. In extreme cases, a joint may completely collapse or subchondral bone may be obliterated. Avascular necrosis, which most frequently affects joints, especially the femoral head, occurs when the blood supply to the bones is diminished. In this article, we will explain the clinical case of a 40-year-old man who's been complaining about hip pain for two months. The patient went to Acharya Vinobha Bhave Rural Hospital (AVBRH) with the same complaint and underwent some tests; upon inspection, it was discovered that the patient had bilateral avascular femoral head necrosis. For avascular necrosis (AVN) of the left femoral head, the patient had core decompression surgery. Once post-operative physical therapy was initiated, the condition significantly improved, and it also served to prevent additional abnormalities. The goal of this case study is to examine the therapeutic strategies essential for treating bilateral femoral head avascular necrosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
