Does Avascular Necrosis Require Hip Surgery?
My father has diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the right femoral head with joint capsulitis and moderate joint effusion and ischemic changes in neck of the right femur.So does he require hip replacement surgery?
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 23rd May '24
YES, HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY IS LIKELY NECESSARY FOR AVASCULAR NECROSIS.. Avascular necrosis is when bone tissue dies due to a lack of blood supply. It can lead to pain and joint damage. Joint effusion is swelling from excess fluid, while joint capsulitis is when the joint capsule is inflamed.. ischemic changes refer to REDUCED BLOOD FLOW.. All of these can make it difficult to move and cause pain.. Surgery may help improve mobility and decrease pain.. YOUR FATHER'S DOCTOR WILL BE ABLE TO ADVISE ON THE BEST TREATMENT PLAN..

Hi, I'm 21 years old, female and since September 2021 i have muscle weakness. It only occurs when i'm moving. When i chew, or walk too fast or if i brush my hair, my muscles get tired very quickly. if i sit or lay down in a certain position, my upper body starts getting kind of muscle ache. My muscle weakness is on my hole body, started on my neck, on my legs, arms and my upper body. When i rest, it gets better. The first symptoms occurs 3 days after i had an intoxication with crabs eye plant seeds. I have talked to my physician about it, blood test, especially muscle enzymes were normal. He said nothing further about it. I'm pretty sure, the muscle weakness comes from the intoxication, but i'm not sure what should i do now.

I am having issues with my right knee. My current doctor always suggests cortisol shots, but I refuse them because they don't work for me. I am very active, but my right knee slows me down. I'm looking for a new doctor and considering a knee replacement, preferably with 3-D printing technology. My name is Martin Castro.

It sounds like your current treatment isn't working for you, and it's important to find a solution. You should consider consulting an orthopedic specialist who can offer alternative treatments, including advanced options like 3-D printed knee replacements. They can provide a personalized plan to help you stay active and manage your knee pain effectively.

Avascular necrosis damages hip bone due to poor blood supply . Joint capsulitis causes inflammation of hip joint lining .. Moderate joint effusion is swelling of the joint. Ischemic changes in neck of femur are REDUCED blood flow. These conditions cause PAIN and limited movement. Treatment includes medication, stem cell therapy, physical therapy or surgery.

I am 17 yrs old girl having problem about my height increasing and my bone problem pain i am normal but i suffered bone pain i have been no diagonesed with any disease
Female | 17
Bone pain may be a consequence of various factors such as growth spurts or poor posture which may be the reason for this. For now, think of your bones as if they are naturally adjusting themselves as you grow taller. Measure your intake of calcium and vitamin D as a way of ensuring you get enough of these minerals for healthy bones. Even if the pain persists, it's best to talk with an orthopedist.

Neck pain taken FNAC test...can you please look into the report
Male | 60
The report would say if there are any suspicious cells in the neck. Neck pain could arise such as poor posture, muscle strain, or an injury. The best way to get pain relief is to do some neck exercises gently, apply ice or heat, and use pain relievers. If the pain persists, you should refer an orthopedist for more advice.

I had an accident 2020 December and till date the bone isn’t joining Why is it not healing
Male | 28
Since the accident in December 2020, you might still have a bone to heal and this could be due to the fact that other conditions may cause it such as the deficiency of blood supply to the affected area, the presence of low calcium, or infection. It is crucial to discuss an orthopedic surgeon.

Essentially failure of the right ACL graft. Blunting of the free edge of the body of the right medial meniscus. Indeterminate appearances of the root of the posterior horn of the right medial meniscus. Tearing of the right lateral meniscus at the junction between the posterior horn and body. An early right knee 'cyclops' lesion cannot be completely excluded. Very early right knee joint degenerative changes.
Male | 25
Your right knee is having some issues. One of the causes of pain, swelling, and the inability to move the knee can be an incorrectly functioning graft that the ACLs are made of. The meniscus tears can cause more pain and problems with your knee bending down. The 'cyclops' lesion may be why it is difficult to straighten your knee. When early changes in the joint are seen, this may be an indication of the wearing down of the knee joint cartilage. Physical therapy and possibly surgery may be needed to treat these conditions. Consult your orthopedic doctor for the best treatment plan.

Sir Shoulder pain carry to Arm 8 month ago to yet
Male | 38
Your shoulder and arm pain lasting 8 months sounds difficult. This prolonged discomfort could stem from muscle or joint issues, like inflammation or injury. It's crucial to give your arm and shoulder proper rest. Ice packs can help reduce swelling. Gentle stretching exercises, as guided by a physical therapist, may provide relief too.

Why my abdomen and back pain happens when I stand or walk or when eat.
Female | 20
Your symptoms could relate to intestinal problems. Food and movement cause intestines to shift, leading to discomfort. Inflammation, infections, or digestive issues are potential causes. Have smaller meals, drink lots of fluids, avoid trigger foods. If pain continues, see an orthopedist for an examination.

1st Metatarsal bone fracture
Male | 26
A first metatarsal fracture may manifest itself in the form of pain and swelling, as well as walking difficulties. This kind of damage more often than not stems from physical traumas or overuse, especially in athletes. Normally, treatment is achieved using rest, ice, compression, and elevation to reduce swelling. An orthopedist might prescribe supportive shoes or a walking cast to keep the foot stable while healing. It’s very important not to do anything that could make things worse.

When I was 10 years old, my wrist was broken and now i am 18 years old and i have facing elbow deformity problem . please tell me now what can i do
Male | 18
Your elbow could be bent because the bone broke and healed that way, blocking it from moving correctly. When you were 10, you injured your wrist and now at the age of 18, this could be the cause of the elbow deformity. An orthopedist should be able to examine everything and then tell you what to do about it which may involve physical therapy or even an operation to fix the problem.

I am a 27 years female and recently I fell down and my wrist got swollen and I have done an x-ray but couldn't understand the report
Female | 27
You’ve probably got a wrist fracture, which is a minor crack in the bone. It is swelling because the body is working on repairing it. To help, you might need a cast or splint to immobilize your wrist so that it can heal. Rest, ice, elevate the arm, and take painkillers as directed. Ensure you visit an orthopedist for proper treatment.

Bone fractures, often caused by injuries, accidents, or falls, result in pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected area. Treatment usually involves using a cast or brace to ensure proper healing. It's important to follow an orthopedist's instructions closely for successful recovery.

I have alot of swelling in my leg i cant walk and its painful
Female | 17
You might have a disease called deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It begins when occurs a clot in a deep vein, most often, however, in the leg. Swelling, pain, warmth, and redness are the symptoms. To cure DVT, blood thinners may be required to stop the clots from getting bigger. Intensive care interventions also require a raised leg and rest. However, it might be necessary for the veins to be compressed further if your leg swelling and pain do not go away or worsen.
