Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip occurs when blood supply to the femoral head is disrupted, causing bone death and potential joint collapse. Early symptoms include groin pain, limping, and reduced range of motion — often mistaken for muscle strain until imaging confirms the diagnosis.
Patient concerns are valid: untreated AVN can lead to progressive joint damage, permanent disability, and loss of independence. Early-stage disease may be managed conservatively or with joint-preserving procedures, but advanced AVN frequently requires hip replacement for lasting pain relief and function.
Robotic hip replacement offers precise implant placement even in challenging AVN anatomy. Dr. Kapil Kapadnis provides dedicated AVN consultation in Nashik — do not wait for collapse before seeking specialist advice.
