Hello sir, stage 2 needs drilling operation but stage 3 won't help with drilling . It needs replacement. Drilling has about 60 percent sucess rate and replacement more than 99 percent

Core decompression is a common procedure done for AVN hip. It can be tried upto Stage 2A. There is nothing wrong in trying core decompression with BMAC. Success rate is pretty decent. If it fails we can always do a Total Hip Replacement any time. 

Current Total Hip Replacement prosthesis have a good longevity. So can keep it as a stable back up option.

He definitely requires surgery. Stage 2 is still managed with core decompression and bone grafting. And 3 can either be delayed if painless or proceed ahead with Total hip replacement to avoid multiple surgeries.

We are doing some thing new,,, it's called BMAC , stem cell injection in diseased part of the hip joint. It has huge success rate. Our advice is to try it before any joint replacement is thought of

management of AVN hip depends on many factors like stage of AVN, age of Pt , activity demand, medical comorbidity, weight of patient etc. He needs core decompression which is very simple procedure. n if no improvement even  after 1 Yr or so. or if disease advances he may need THR.

Acupuncture distal and local points along with Moxibustion and electro stimulation would help a patient dealing with AVN hip pain. Acupuncture helps in increasing the immunity and helps in reducing the after- effect covid symptoms.
Electro acupuncture can also help in increasing the blood flow. 
When the needles are inserted in the body, our body releases natural chemicals to fight the illness or symptom. Hence AVN can be treated with acupuncture combined with medical aid to control severe pain in the hip joint. 
Acupuncture is a boon in AVN to boost up the response and reduce the recovery time taken by patients. It helps in increasing the increases the overall positivity of the patient as the acupuncture sessions advances patients start feeling better and their overall condition improves to a large extent.

I am 20 year grand daughter who is taking care of my 70+age grandmother who has ankle fracture a month ago.We are not allowed to have surgery because operation won't be success.She has tight bandage in first week,after 15 days.What is the best steps to be taken now?And the second question is I am helping her with bedpan for excretion.But at night, She expects to use bedpan.But I suggest adult tape briefs.What should I use at night?

Female | 70

  • Older individuals are more prone to falls and fractures. The incidence of ankle fractures in older patients is high and severe in some cases. The treatment is difficult and complicated in nature due to presence of comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension and poor bone quality.
  • Treatment goals include: Stability of the joint, ability of the patient to perform daily activities independently and minimizing complications associated with fracture and other comorbid conditions.

RICE is a part of the Non-operative management of ankle fracture in older patients which includes:

R: The importance of rest cannot be overstated. In order for the fracture to heal faster limit yourself from further pressure on the foot. 

A cast will most likely be worn to keep the foot and ankle immobile.  In case of severe soft tissue swelling, a cast may be required for the first three to five days. The brace must be worn for six weeks in order to allow the fracture to heal. Cast fixation with off-loading is advised for poor bone quality depending on the radiography report.  

Ice: For reducing the swelling and inflammation, apply ice to the region for 20 minutes at a time.

 And continue further for every 40 minutes.

Compression: Wrapping the area in a bandage helps to reduce swelling.

Elevation: To assist reduce inflammation, lift your foot and ankle slightly above the level of your heart.

Sir/madam I am a student,my problem is my little finger joint dislocated it's nearly 20 days ago surgery was done successfully,but my finger is not folding

Male | 19

Your finger is likely struggling to be­nd properly after the surge­ry to fix its dislocated state. This issue arise­s due to swelling or stiffness, which can occur some­times. To enhance its be­nding ability, gently move it and follow the e­xercises suggeste­d by your physical therapist diligently. These­ exercises aim to stre­ngthen your finger and boost its flexibility gradually.

I’m suffering from a severe cold with a headache and particularly intense pain in the back of my neck. It’s causing me trouble when bending, getting up, and even eating. Could you recommend some medication for me? I took LCZ 5mg this morning, but it hasn’t provided relief.Also I have slight cough and a sensation in my nose.

Male | 39

Your symptoms suggest sinusitis. Inflame­d sinuses cause headache­s, neck pain, coughs, congestion, runny noses. Ove­r-the-counter ibuprofen re­duces pain, inflammation. Drinking fluids, using humidifiers ease­s discomfort. However, if symptoms persist or worse­n, see a doctor promptly.

I fractured my humorous up next to my shoulder and now my wrist and hand are swollen and badly bruised. My concern to s blood poisoning

Male | 63

You might be seeking information on sepsis, which is also known as blood poisoning. The issue of swelling and contusions is not only at the site of the fracture but may also occur in the forearm and hand. Although it may be alarming, it's usually not a symptom of blood poisoning. In case your health condition is deteriorating and you're fighting such symptoms as fever, tachycardia, and disorientation, you should not waste time seeking a medical consultation. Please also remember to keep your arm above the level of your heart and put the ice on the place to keep the swelling down.
