🦴 Is Hip Joint Pain a Life-Long Problem?
Not anymore! Many people after COVID-19 or steroid use are experiencing severe hip pain due to Avascular Necrosis (AVN). Earlier, this condition was rare and mostly seen in old age. But now, even people in their 30s & 40s are affected. With modern treatments like Total Hip Replacement (THR), patients can return to normal, pain-free life.
👉 What is Avascular Necrosis (AVN)?

Due to COVID-19, steroid use, or reduced blood supply, the ball part of the hip joint (femoral head) gets damaged.

The healthy round shape becomes rough and deformed.

This causes severe pain during walking, sitting, or climbing stairs.

In advanced stages, normal movements become very difficult.

👉 How is AVN Diagnosed?

X-Ray: May not show early changes, but late-stage AVN is visible.

MRI Scan: Detects AVN in early stages and checks if one or both hips are affected.

Clinical Examination: Patients show restricted hip movement and severe pain.


👉 What is Total Hip Replacement (THR)?

The damaged ball (femoral head) is replaced with an artificial joint.

The cup part of the hip socket is also replaced with a new lining.

Different materials used:

Metal-on-Polyethylene
Ceramic-on-Polyethylene
Cemented & Uncemented implants
Choice depends on patient’s age and lifestyle needs.


✅ Treatment Benefits:

Pain-free walking and sitting
Improved mobility and flexibility
Long-lasting joint function
Quick return to normal life if treated early


👉 Key Takeaway:
If you have hip pain after COVID or steroid treatment, don’t ignore it. Early diagnosis and treatment can help you avoid lifelong suffering. Total Hip Replacement is a safe and highly successful solution for AVN.
