What is Avascular Necrosis?
Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a growing disorder that results in the death of the cellular components of bone due to the loss of blood supply to the bone. The condition also can be resulted due to the long term use of the high dose steroid medications, connective tissue disease, trauma, sickle cell disease, etc. Commonly affecting sites include the head of the femur, humerus, proximal tibia and femoral condyles. Furthermore, Asthi-majjakshaya normally displays symptoms such as asthishathana (splitting of bone), asthitoda (bone pain), and asthisoushiryam (osteoporosis).
Avascular Necrosis Symptoms
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head can be characterized with groin pain that radiates down the anteromedial thigh. Remarkable patients may show a limp and or limited range of motion in abduction, flexion, and internal rotation. Pain could be sometimes induced by walking, standing, moving or other similar mechanical stress. However, it can usually be relieved by resting.
Furthermore, the symptoms of aasthi - majjakshaya, includes:
Asthithoda (severe bone pain), asthisoushirya, Asthisatana, or hollowness in bone (degenerative alterations in the bone or osteoporosis) Sandhishaithilya (looseness in joints), etc.
AVN is distinguished by five stages through the use of normal radiological clinical findings. Furthermore, each stage identifies and explains the pathological progress and the severity of the disease.
• Stage 1: Death of cells which is usually undetectable by plain films
• Stage 2: modulation of the cells which is characterized by localized osteoporosis
• Stage 3: Development of the margin of dead bone which appears sclerotic
• Stage 4: Increase in the margin which takes on a crescent shape
• Stage 5: Is characterized by destruction and maybe collapse of the bone
Causes of Avascular Necrosis
Avascular necrosis can be caused due to numerous reasons. The most common cause of AVN is Trauma. It can happen within eight hours after a traumatic injury. Furthermore, the two most frequent etiologies of atraumatic AVN are alcohol consumption and long-term use of corticosteroids. Extreme alcohol intake may have a toxic impact on osteogenic cells. Also, the use of long-term steroids is connected with 35% of all cases of atraumatic AVN. Corticosteroid-related avascular necrosis is more critical and more likely to affect both hips than noncorticosteroid-related AVN.
Avascular necrosis is also a side effect of other ailments, including pancreatitis, chemotherapy, Gaucher’s disease, hemodialysis, and blood disorders, like sickle cell anemia. According to Ayurveda, the causes like consumption of scanty intake of food, non- unctuous substances, intake of foods which are light and cold by nature, a lack in the lifestyle, indulging in more physical activities and mental strain like constant worrying and fear, and not following the healthy habits of daily routine or dinacharya. Also, these are the causes of AVN;
• Rathrijagarana (sleeplessness), • Vegasandharana (controlling the natural urges), • Excessive traveling, • Traumatic conditions and injuries, • Excessive strenuous activities, etc are the contributory elements of dhathukshaya and they result in vataprakopa.
Additionally, the vataprakopa further presents the indication of disease in the weakest dhathu or at the site of more khavaighunyata in the shareera (body).

Avascular Necrosis: Ayurvedic Treatment Benefits
Ayurveda holds the cure to almost all types of diseases. It is an ancient science which is the collection of treatment methodologies that work with the natural flow of the human body and mind. It means that it does not disturb the natural equilibrium of the human body through heavy medications, treatments, and surgeries, rather it from within.
The following are the benefits of getting AVN treated through Ayurveda;
• It cures the body from within
• It does not let the disease affect the body again as it cures it of the roots
• Surgery often leaves some side effects behind like it may cause bleeding, lead to pain, etc. but Ayurveda has no such side effects.
• Also, there is no incision in avascular necrosis Ayurvedic treatment, so the treated joint becomes as good as new instead of being replaced with an artificial joint.
