Avascular Necrosis treatment in Monterrey

Avascular necrosis is a condition in which part of the bone loses its blood supply, causing the bone tissue to weaken and, over time, potentially deteriorate. It frequently affects weight-bearing joints, such as the hip.

Common causes: It can be related to prior injuries or fractures, prolonged use of certain treatments, excessive alcohol consumption, or other conditions that affect the bone's circulation.

Common symptoms: It usually begins with pain that appears when bearing weight on the joint and that later may be felt even at rest, along with limited movement.

Who treats it? The orthopedist evaluates the state of the bone and joint, and the physical therapist supports the recovery of movement. If you notice persistent joint pain, it is advisable to have a professional review the origin before it progresses.
