Avascular necrosis of the femur head: from initial manifestations to prosthesis

Abstract

Avascular necrosis of the femur head is a significant medical condition that can cause severe pain, disability, and reduced quality of life if left untreated. It can affect people of all ages, but it is more common in those who are older or have certain risk factors such as steroid use, alcohol abuse, or certain medical conditions.AVN can be cause to the collapse of the bone, which can require surgical intervention such as a total hip replacement. This can be a significant financial burden for patients and their families, as well as a significant physical and emotional burden.
