Reversal of Avascular necrosis (AVN)of hip

Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the hip happens when the blood supply to the hip bone is reduced, leading to bone damage and joint pain. If detected early, AVN can often be managed with reversal (non-surgical) treatments to restore blood flow, preserve the hip joint, and delay or even prevent the need for hip replacement.

Conditions We Manage Conservatively

• Early-stage AVN of the hip
• Hip pain and stiffness due to reduced blood supply
• AVN associated with steroid use, alcohol use, or injury
• Joint preservation in young and active patients

Our Non-Surgical Treatments Include

• Treatment for reversal of avascular necrosis of the hip depends on the stage of the disease. In early stages, non-surgical and conservative options may help slow or reverse damage, while advanced stages may require surgical procedures to restore mobility and function.
• Medicines – To improve blood circulation, reduce pain, and protect bone health.
• Physiotherapy & Exercises – Special programs to strengthen hip muscles, maintain mobility, and reduce stress on the joint.
• Lifestyle Guidance – Weight management, activity modification, and avoiding habits (like smoking/alcohol) that worsen AVN.
• Bisphosphonates & Supplements – Medications and nutritional support to slow bone damage.
• Core Decompression / Minimally Invasive Techniques – In selected cases, procedures to restore blood flow and prevent progression.
• Biological Therapies – Use of stem cells or growth factors (if recommended) to support natural healing.

Benefits of AVN Reversal Treatments

• Reversal of avascular necrosis of the hip can help avoid or delay the need for hip replacement. Since the condition is common in younger individuals, delaying total hip replacement is important, as early surgery may require multiple revisions during a lifetime due to implant longevity of only 10–15 years.
• Preserves your natural hip joint
• Reduces pain and stiffness
• Improves walking and daily activity
• Delays or avoids total hip replacement surgery
• Promotes long-term hip health

Recovery & Follow-Up

• Improvement is gradual and depends on the stage of AVN.
• Early diagnosis + consistent treatment show the best results.
• Physiotherapy and lifestyle changes play a major role in recovery.
• Regular follow-ups and imaging help track healing and prevent progression.
