Journal Title: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Avascular necrosis is defined as a group of symptoms, dominated by pain, loss of function and bony collapse caused by anoxemia and other deficiency in arterial nutrition of the head of the femur, prolonged enough to result in the marked degeneration, even necrosis of bone. Methodology: Data collected included: Pre-clinical studies – model of AVN, variety and dosage of SC, histologic and imaging analyses. Clinical studies – study design, classification and etiology of AVN, and treatment protocol. Results: It was also noticed that 9 hips (28.13) with stage III, 8 hips (25%) with stage II and 2 hips (6.25%) associated with stage I disease. There was one hip (3.13) of Stage V and VI each. This was according to classification by Steinberg et al. Conclusion: Thus, a focus on early disease management aimed at joint preservation by preventing or delaying progression is key
