Osteonecrosis, or Avascular Necrosis, is a condition marked by the death of bone tissue due to a diminished blood supply. This often occurs in joints like the hip, knee, and shoulder. Causes include trauma, prolonged corticosteroid use, excessive alcohol consumption, or underlying medical conditions. Symptoms include joint pain and limited range of motion. Diagnosis involves imaging studies. Treatment varies depending on the stage, ranging from conservative measures such as pain management and physical therapy to surgical interventions like core decompression or joint replacement in advanced cases. Early detection and appropriate intervention are essential to prevent further joint damage. Ongoing research aims to improve the understanding and management of this debilitating condition. Early detection and appropriate intervention are crucial to prevent further joint damage. Ongoing research aims to explore new treatment modalities and improve outcomes for individuals affected by osteonecrosis.
