Скачать или смотреть Avascular Necrosis (AVN):Guide to Early Detection Diagnosis + Management and Prevention

If you're experiencing persistent hip pain, especially in the groin, side of the hip, knee, or buttock, and relying heavily on pain medications, it's crucial to consult a doctor.

Risk Factors:
Alcohol abuse: Heavy alcohol consumption significantly increases the risk of AVN.
Hip fractures: Trauma to the hip can disrupt blood flow to the femoral head.
Steroid use: Prolonged or high-dose steroid use can also compromise blood supply to the hip.

Diagnosis:
MRI: The gold standard for diagnosing AVN. Early detection is key for effective treatment and potentially preventing the need for hip replacement surgery.
X-rays: May show signs of bone collapse in later stages of AVN.
Prevention and Slowing

Progression:
Moderate alcohol consumption: If you drink, do so in moderation.
Steroid management: Discuss with your doctor to minimize steroid use whenever possible.

Weight management: Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce stress on the hips.

Important Note: If you suspect AVN, prompt medical evaluation is essential. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve outcomes and potentially prevent the need for more invasive procedures.
