• Avascular necrosis (AVN)– Death to the bone because of an absent blood supply. There is only one major blood vessel into the hip joint. If that vessel is damaged in any way, your hip will lose its source of nourishment to the bone, and it will die. The head of the femur coll...
In the very early stages, it may not show up on X-rays even though you are having pain. In the advanced stages, the hip joint will be very arthritic, and it may be hard to tell whether the main problem is AVN or advanced osteoarthritis of the hip. Either way, the treatment is ...

After 6 months avascular necrosis (AVN) developed on her right femoral head, the range of motion (ROM) of the hip was restricted and she had minimal pain on her right hip. J Clin Exp Invest 2011;2(2):228-31doi:10.5799/ahinjs.01.2011.02.0021Vedat Uruç...
X-rays can be used to follow the maintenance of the reduction, but ultrasound has also been used effectively to document treatment progress.[6] View the correct answer. What are the complications of the use of the Pavlik harness? Avascular necrosis (AVN) is seen in a small but appreciable...
associated with Paget's disease,ankylosing spondylitis, andjuvenile rheumatoid arthritis(NIH Consensus Development Panel on Total Hip Replacement, 1995). The most challenging patient populations for THR are young patients with disabling hip disease and patients with a diagnosis ofavascular necrosis(AVN) ...
13 In contrast to this, no patients in this series showed AVN during the documented follow-up period based on the length of control achieved by the plate system and proper application of the surgical technique, as described by Joeris et al.9 Limitations of this study ...

A displaced stress fracture is a very serious problem in a young adult because it may lead to damage to the blood vessels going into the upper end of the hip bone. This can cause a very serious complication known asavascular necrosis(AVN) of the hip. ...
