Book an Appointment
Conditions Treated
Avascular necrosis occurs when blood supply to the femoral head (hip bone) is disrupted, leading to bone damage, shape loss, and arthritis. If detected early, it can be treated without hip replacement.
How It Works
- Core decompression is performed by drilling a small hole into the affected bone.
- Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMAC) & Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) are injected into the area to stimulate healing.
- This enhances bone regeneration and prevents joint damage.
Benefits
- Minimally invasive – No large incisions or major surgery
- Prevents further deterioration – Reduces the need for joint replacement
- Faster recovery – Helps restore hip function naturally
Questions ? You're Covered
1. How do I know if I have AVN of the hip
- Early symptoms include hip pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. MRI scans help confirm the diagnosis.
2. When is hip replacement necessary
- If hip arthritis causes severe pain, joint damage, and difficulty walking, and non-surgical treatments are ineffective, hip replacement is the best solution.
3. How long does PRP therapy take to show results
- Most patients experience pain relief within 2-6 weeks, with continued improvement over 3-6 months as healing progresses.
4. Are these treatments safe
- Yes! PRP and BMAC use your own body’s healing cells, making them a safe and natural treatment with minimal risk of complications.
