Abstract:
AVN is a degenerative bone condition characterized by the demise of cellular components of the bone secondary to disruption in the subchondral blood supply. It is also known as Osteonecrosis & it typically affects the epiphysis of long bones at weight-bearing joints. Commonest site for AVN is the femoral head. Advanced disease might result in subchondral collapse, which further threatens the mobility & viability of the joint. Hence early diagnosis and prompt treatment of AVN is very important. We hereby wish to present a case of 33 year old young man who had stage 2 AVN of head of femur on Right side & stage 1 AVN on Left side. He was treated with our Unique Non-Invasive Treatment Method wherein we combined & implemented multiple therapies which included- Physical Therapy, Acupuncture & Panchakarma (Ayurvedic Therapy). After a therapy session lasting for 10 days, we could see significant reversal of symptoms in this patient & could restore functional mobility & viability of joint back to normal.
