Necrosis Of Femoral Head

Introduction:Avascular necrosis is also known as aseptic, osteonecrosis and ischaemic necrosis of bone. There are a multitude of risk factors but over 80% of cases are attributed to glucocorticoid treatment or alcohol excess. Avascular Necrosis of femoral head is the most common type of necrosis, because the artery supplying to neck of femur is very narrow which easily gets injured. In modern medicine there is no specic treatment rather than surgery. In Ayurveda avascular necrosis can be correlated with Asthimajjagatvata. Aim: To assess the efcacy of Dashmooladi Majja Sneha in the management of avascular necrosis. The objective of the treatment includes the preservation of structure and function of hip joint with symptomatic relief. Materials & Methods:The present case study is upon a 32 year old, diagnosed case of avascular necrosis of femoral head with complaints of pain in bilateral sacroiliac joint since one and half years which was associated with difculty in doing normal daily activities such as walking, sitting, squatting along with change in the gait, at the Panchakarma OPD of Govt. Ayurvedic hospital Bhopal. The patient of idiopathic AVN of femoral head was treated with Dashmooladi Majja Sneha, Brihatvata Chintamani Rasa, Amritaristha, Panchtikta Ghrita Guggulu and Shastik Shali Pind Swedan have done as per the classical method for 30 days. Assessment was done after treatment and follow up after 15 days for 2months. Observations: The Ayurvedic therapies and oral medicines yielded complete symptomatic relief from pain, general debility and improvement in the gait. Conclusion: On the basis of the results obtained it can be concluded that Dashmooladi Majja Sneha, Shastik Shali Pind Swedan and some oral medicines can be used as an effective treatment in the management of Avascular Necrosis.

Bone Necrosis

Avascular necrosis additionally referred to as osteo-necrosis or Ischemic bone necrosis is a condition that occurs when there is a loss of blood supply of bone. An interruption in the blood supply causes bone cells to die. AVN of femoral head is that the commonest sort of necrosis affecting the bone. In Ayurveda, It correlated with asthimajjagata vaat (musculoskeletal disorder). An effort has been made within the present study to gauge the efficacy of panchtikta kshir basti in conservative management of femoral head necrosis of the bone. In Modern medicine, no any unique remedy as opposed to surgical operation is available.

The clinical presentation of a proximal femoral fracture is completely different between young and adult patients. Unlike closed proximal femoral fractures, the incidence of exposed fractures is found in the young population between 15 and 30 years of age. Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is one the complications we can find in this type of fractures. Avascular necrosis (AVN or osteonecrosis) is defined as the interruption of blood supply to the femoral head due to trauma, infectionalcohol or steroid use, resulting in bone necrosis, joint collapse and osteoarthrosis. The treatment will depend on the clinical presentation, age of the patient and when the diagnosis is made. This is a case report of a 16-year-old patient with a gunshot wound on the hip. Surgical cleansing and closed reduction plus internal fixation with a nail in the center of the spine were performed. A 3-year clinical and radiographic follow up was made, observing the evolution of the fracture and the subsequent avascular necrosis that the patient presented. Key words: Proximal femoral fracture; hip; avascular necrosis (AVN, osteonecrosis); open fracture; osteoarthritis.

Background: The avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a development disease caused by ischemic necrosis, which is mainly observed in young dogs. The etiology of the disease remains controversial. The diagnosis requires imaging exams such as MRI and radiographs. Thus, the aim of the current study was to retrospectively assess a population of dogs with avascular necrosis of the femoral head in order to feature the disease, as well as to analyze the radiographic appearance of the lesion at the moment of patient consultation.Materials, Methods & Results: The signalment factors of dogs (breed, gender, age and body mass), the affected hind limb, the radiographic appearance of the lesion, the clinical signs at the moment of patient consultation, the time of occurrence and the type of treatment were evaluated. The disease was radiographically classified according to the previously described items. Forty-three cases of avascular necrosis of the femoral head were identified, 97.67% presented lameness and pain during palpation of the hip joint; and 54.34%, were 1 week to 4 months old. Females represented 58.13% of the sample, and 65.11% of them weighed from 2.6 to 4.9 kg. Based on the radiographic classification, 4.34% were Grade 1; 32.60%, Grade 2; 8.69%, Grade 3; 19.56%, Grade 4; and 34.78%, Grade 5. The femoral head and neck ostectomy was performed in 42 hind limbs (91.30%); 42.85% of the dogs reached total functional recovery and 26.19% required physiotherapy and rehabilitation.Discussion: The present sample was composed of 25 dogs, which were 6-to-11-month old at the moment of patient consultation, but 17 dogs were 12-to-36-month old at this time; only one dog was older than 36 months. It may be associated with the non-recognition of clinical signs by the owners, rather than with the late-onset form of the disease. With respect to the breed, pinscher, Yorkshire, poodle, Lhasa apso, pug were most frequently observed. However, 7 dogs were crossbreed. Such group differed from that of a review involving 188 cases encompassing West Highland white terrier, Cairn terrier and poodle as the most commonly affected breeds. No sex predilection was found in a study comprising 188 cases, but in another study comprising 14 dogs, female predilection was observed. Likewise, the females represented 58.13% of cases in the present study; and 41.86% of the participants were male. The mean body mass of the dogs in the current study was 4.33 kg, which matches the small breed dogs, which are most affected by the disease. Clinical signs of non-weightbearing lameness or an intermittent subtle lameness are common in the avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Lameness of the affected hind limb was observed in 69.76% of the cases in the present study, but 2.32% showed no lameness. Occasionally, the avascular necrosis of the femoral head is bilaterally found in 12% to 16.5% of the cases. Only 3 out of the 43 cases assessed in the present study were bilateral. Since the lesions were more frequent in Grades 2 and 5, there is less chance of success through the conservative treatment. Thus, the femoral head and neck ostectomy was the surgical procedure performed in 42 hind limbs. The procedure is used to provide pain relief and to reduce the signs of lameness. In conclusion, the population assessed in the present study was composed of small size dogs, mean body mass 4.33 kg, no sex predilection, mostly presenting unilateral lesions and higher Grade 2 and Grade 5 radiographic lesion frequency.Keywords: radiographic, joint, canine, hip.
