Have you had a hip dislocation, femoral head fracture or are you experiencing pain in the hip joint? Have you developed a limp when walking or have pain when weight-bearing? If so, you may have avascular necrosis, a hip condition which requires early treatment
Hip avascular necrosis is the name for a condition that causes the death of bone tissue due to a loss of blood supply. Other common terms used to describe avascular necrosis may be AVN, osteonecrosis, ischemic bone necrosis or aseptic necrosis. If AVN is left untreated, the bone can collapse. Dr. Benedict Nwachukwu, serving patients in Manhattan, New York City and the surrounding New York boroughs has extensive experience diagnosing and treating patients with avascular necrosis of the hip.
AVN most often affects the hip and specifically the femoral head (ball at the top of the femur, or long bone of the leg). Avascular necrosis of the femoral head can be either traumatic or non-traumatic in nature.
Dr. Sanjeep Pujary will obtain a complete and thorough patient history and will conduct several diagnostic tests that may include an MRI, X-ray, and/or a CT-Scan. Dr. Sanjeep Pujarymost often recommends an MRI as the gold standard for detecting pre-collapse lesions. An MRI also helps him determine if the patient is experiencing a femoral head bruise or osteopenia.
The recovery time after AVN treatment varies greatly and depends primarily on the procedure. Dr. Sanjeed lets his patients know what to expect and will provide a full post-surgical protocol for AVN treatment.
For more information and treatment options for AVN (avascular necrosis) please contact the office Dr. Sanjeed Pujary, MS. orthopedic hip specialist serving in Bandra, Mumbai.
