Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip is a serious orthopedic condition that occurs when the blood supply to the femoral head is disrupted. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent joint damage. Since the disease often causes no symptoms in its early stages, diagnosis can be challenging. However, in later stages, it typically presents with groin pain, limited range of motion, and a significant decline in quality of life.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When diagnosed early, avascular necrosis can often be treated effectively with intraosseous bioplasty<\/span><\/strong>\u2014a minimally invasive and biologically supported surgical technique that removes dead bone tissue and stimulates healing before the femoral head collapses. This approach can significantly delay or even eliminate the need for joint replacement.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
