According to the Mayo Clinic, avascular necrosis is the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply. Also called osteonecrosis, it is often associated with excessive dressing and can also be caused by chemotherapy. In the hips, it affects the femoral head. This condition leads to tiny breaks in the bone, which can eventually cause the bone to collapse.
The National Institutes of Health report that avascular necrosis affects patients around 20–40 years old, with the average age being 38. They also report that the use of regenerative medicines has shown potential in slowing down the development of avascular necrosis of the femoral head, and subsequently stopping young patients from enduring total hip joint replacement.
Regenerative medicine is an advanced form of therapy. Options for regenerative medicine include not only Regenerative Medicine injection therapy, but also Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injection. Both PRP and Regenerative Medicine injections can help patients recover from many injuries without having to receive pointless surgery or consume heavy medications.
