BEST HIP AVN PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT IN ZAKIR NAGAR-PHYSIONAUTICS Avascular necrosis (AVN), also known as osteonecrosis, is a condition characterized by the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply. This often leads to severe pain and reduced mobility, particularly in weight-bearing joints such as the hip and knee. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing symptoms and preventing further joint deterioration. Symptoms and Diagnosis Initially, AVN may be asymptomatic, making early detection challenging. As the condition progresses, patients typically experience deep, dull pain in the affected joint that worsens with weight-bearing activities. Physical examination may reveal reduced range of motion and tenderness around the joint. Diagnostic imaging, particularly MRI, is essential for identifying early changes in bone structure. Role of Physiotherapy Physiotherapy plays a vital role in managing AVN. The primary goals include relieving pain, maintaining joint mobility, and strengthening surrounding muscles to reduce stress on the affected area. Treatment may involve: Weight-Bearing Restrictions: Utilizing crutches or other assistive devices can help offload pressure from the affected joint. Exercise Therapy: Tailored exercise programs focusing on both passive and active movements can enhance flexibility and strength without exacerbating pain. Education: Patients are educated about lifestyle modifications to mitigate risk factors such as obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Pain Management Techniques: Modalities like ultrasound therapy or electrical stimulation may be employed to alleviate discomfort.
