Avascular Necrosis

Regrow Bone Cell Therapy for Avascular Necrosis (AVN)
By Dr. Vijay Kumar D | SV Ortho Care

What is Avascular Necrosis and Bone Degeneration?
Avascular Necrosis (AVN)—also known as Osteonecrosis—is a progressive condition in which bone tissue dies due to a lack of blood supply. As AVN advances, it severely limits mobility and may lead to the collapse of the affected joint.

AVN most commonly affects the hip joint in young adults aged 20 to 45, though it can also impact the knee, shoulder, ankle, and other joints.

Symptoms of Avascular Necrosis (AVN)
Persistent pain, swelling, and stiffness in the affected joint

Pain while walking, lying down, or applying weight

Restricted movement in the joint

Difficulty in bending forward or tying shoelaces

Noticeable limping while walking

Stages of AVN in the Hip Joint
Stage I:

No visible signs on X-rays

Symptoms may be minimal or absent

Stage II:

Early signs appear on scans

Pain and stiffness become noticeable

Stage III:

Joint space narrowing

Bone begins to collapse

Stage IV:

Severe joint damage and loss of function

Total joint replacement may be necessary

Important:
Early diagnosis is crucial. AVN can be reversed in its initial stages with the right treatment. In later stages, irreversible bone damage often leads to joint replacement surgery.

Treatment for Avascular Necrosis: Regrow Bone Cell Therapy
At SV Ortho Care, under the expert care of Dr. Vijay Kumar D, we offer Regrow Bone Cell Therapy—a cutting-edge, permanent treatment for AVN that halts disease progression and restores joint mobility.

What is Bone Cell Therapy?
This therapy uses the patient’s own bone marrow cells (autologous) to regenerate healthy bone tissue and prevent joint collapse.

The Procedure: Step-by-Step
Bone Marrow Extraction
A small amount of bone marrow is drawn from the patient.

Cell Separation & Culturing
Specialized bone cells are separated and expanded in a controlled lab environment.

Implantation of Bone Cells
The cultured cells are re-implanted into the affected joint, where they promote healing and bone regeneration.
