Hip Pain/ AVN

Hip Pain/ AVN

Hip pain can be caused by various conditions, and one of the potential causes is avascular necrosis (AVN), also known as osteonecrosis. AVN occurs when the blood supply to the bone is disrupted, leading to bone tissue death. This can affect the hip joint, causing pain and potentially leading to joint deterioration.
