Aseptic bone necrosis
This is a condition in which bone cells die due to insufficient blood supply. This can occur as a result of injury, alcohol abuse, prolonged use of corticosteroids, infections or systemic diseases.
Aseptic necrosis affects bones with a high content of spongy matter: the head of the femur, knee joint, shoulder joint and wrist. The bone begins to break down, which can lead to pain, limited mobility and arthritis.
The symptoms of aseptic necrosis depend on the stage of the disease and the affected area. In the early stages, patients may experience mild pain or discomfort, which increases with physical exertion. As the necrosis progresses, the pain becomes constant, swelling and limitation of joint mobility occur. In advanced cases, bone collapse may occur, which leads to serious deformities and loss of joint function. Aseptic necrosis: what to do? Surgical treatment is indicated in case of ineffectiveness of conservative methods. Surgical intervention can improve blood supply, slow the progression of necrosis and restore joint function. Surgical treatment is indicated in case of ineffectiveness of conservative methods. Surgical intervention can improve blood supply, slow the progression of necrosis and restore joint function.
A general blood and urine test. Coagulogram for the assessment of blood clotting. X-ray, MRI or CT scan to examine the affected area. Consultation with an anesthesiologist to choose the optimal method of anesthesia. Examination and consultation with a therapist for an overall assessment of the patient's health.
In the early stages of the disease, conservative treatment is prescribed: taking painkillers, limiting physical activity, physiotherapy to improve blood flow and strengthen the muscles around the affected bone. When the destruction of bone tissue becomes pronounced, surgical treatment begins. The surgeon can perform decompression surgery to reduce intraosseous pressure, bone marrow or bone marrow cell transplantation, and in case of severe bone damage, endoprosthetics.
X-ray equipment for intraoperative monitoring. A set of metal clamps (plates, screws, pins) to stabilize bone fragments.
After starting treatment, it is important to carry out regular rehabilitation procedures to improve mobility and strength in the affected area. Rehabilitation may include exercises, hydrotherapy, and individual sessions with a physiotherapist. The duration and intensity of rehabilitation measures depend on the general state of the patient's health and the stage of the disease.

Improving blood supply helps to stop necrosis and promotes the restoration of bone cells.
Pain reduction
Relieving symptoms allows patients to return to daily activities and improves their quality of life.
Preventing the progression of the disease
