Avascular necrosis, also called osteonecrosis, is a debilitating condition characterized by the death of bone tissue due to insufficient blood supply. Commonly affecting weight-bearing joints such as the hip, knee, and shoulder, it leads to bone collapse, severe pain, and limited mobility. The condition often develops gradually, with symptoms including joint stiffness, discomfort, and difficulty bearing weight. Various factors contribute to avascular necrosis, including traumatic injury, prolonged steroid use, excessive alcohol consumption etc.
