Avascular Necrosis (AVN) Treatment by IRM Hospital
Avascular Necrosis (AVN), also known as osteonecrosis, is a condition characterized by the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply. This can lead to pain, reduced mobility, and eventually, joint collapse if left untreated. IRM Hospital, a leading healthcare provider, offers comprehensive treatment options for AVN, combining the latest in medical advancements with personalized care to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients.
Understanding Avascular Necrosis
AVN typically affects the hip but can occur in any bone. It’s crucial for patients to receive an accurate diagnosis and timely treatment to prevent further damage. IRM Hospital utilizes state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to identify AVN at its earliest stages, allowing for the implementation of effective treatment plans.
Multidisciplinary Approach to Care
Treatment of AVN at IRM Hospital is a collaborative effort, involving orthopedic surgeons, radiologists, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation specialists. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that each patient receives a comprehensive care plan that addresses all aspects of their condition.
Patient-Centered Care and Support
At IRM Hospital, patient care extends beyond medical treatment. Patients and their families receive support and education about AVN, empowering them to be active participants in the recovery process. Rehabilitation services are tailored to help patients regain strength and mobility, with a focus on achieving long-term wellness.
Leading the Way in AVN Research and Innovation
IRM Hospital is at the forefront of research into AVN, participating in clinical trials and investigating new treatment methodologies. This commitment to innovation ensures that patients have access to the most advanced treatments available.
Understanding Avascular
Necrosis and Its Implications
Avascular Necrosis primarily affects the joints at the shoulder, knee, and most commonly, the hip. It can result from several factors, including steroid use, alcohol misuse, traumatic injury, and certain medical conditions. The progression of AVN can lead to joint destruction, necessitating comprehensive management strategies to preserve bone health and prevent further damage.
Precision & Advancement in Modern Treatments
IRM Hospital utilizes advanced imaging
techniques, including MRI diagnostics, to accurately identify the early stages of AVN.
Comprehensive Care Beyond Surgery
Understanding that treatment extends beyond the operating room, IRM Hospital provides an integrated recovery plan that includes physical therapy protocols and mobility enhancement techniques. This holistic approach ensures patients not only recover from surgery but also regain their quality of life and mobility.
Preventing Avascular Necrosis: A Proactive Approach
Prevention and early intervention are key components of AVN management. IRM Hospital advocates for lifestyle modifications, preventive screenings, and education on risk factors. By addressing the underlying causes of AVN, such as steroid use and alcohol misuse, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of developing this debilitating condition.
Stem Cell Treatment
Stem cell therapy used to treat degenerative conditions for Avascular necrosis. Research shows that adult stem cells can produce healthy cartilage and this can help to accelerate the body’s natural healing process. Stem cell therapy could reduce the number of hip replacement surgeries. The treatment is safer and comes with fewer complications.
