What is Avascular Necrosis?

Avascular Necrosis is a death of bone tissue that happens due to a loss of blood supply. AVN is also termed as osteonecrosis or aseptic necrosis. However, if not treated on time, Avascular Necrosis can cause the bone to collapse. Consult Dr. GS Natt as he offers the best AVN treatment in Chandigarh.

Avascular Necrosis mostly affects the hip. Its other frequent target areas are the shoulder, knees, and ankles.

In its initial stage, Avascular Necrosis usually does not have symptoms. As this disease gets worse, it eventually becomes painful.
