Abstract

Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a condition which causes cellular destruction of bone material due to interruption of blood supply. Necrosis is caused by inadequate blood supply, resulting in bone tissue destruction with collapsing of that segment. The disease usually occurs in young adults, and femoral head is one of the commonest sites. Avascular necrosis may be traumatic or non-traumatic and causes major musculoskeletal disability. Initially patients remain asymptomatic. In untreated cases the disease progresses and causes joint destruction, requiring surgical intervention and in later stages need total hip replacement. Plain X-ray, isotope bone scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play important role in making the diagnosis. MRI is highly accurate method for the diagnosis of avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
