Avascular necrosis is caused by restricted blood supply to bones, leading to weakness, breakage, and potential collapse. Trauma, alcohol consumption, and corticosteroid use are common causes. Prompt medical treatment is necessary, and diagnosis involves X-rays and imaging. Treatment includes medication, rest, exercise, and surgery. Early identification is crucial for successful treatment. Avascular necrosis is a […]
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a condition where the blood supply to the ball-shaped top part of the thigh bone is lost, causing bone cell death. Causes include drugs, alcoholism, and injury. Symptoms include pain and stiffness, and treatment can include surgery or medication. Core decompression can prevent progression, while total hip replacement […]
Pulp necrosis is the death of material within a tooth, caused by tooth cavities, fractures, or trauma. Symptoms include toothache, abscesses, and swelling.
