Summary of article contents:
Avascular necrosis describes the death of bone due to impairment of its blood supply. Nontraumatic or idiopathic osteonecrosis is thought to be the result of an ischemic episode affecting the bone and marrow tissue and may cause a progressive collapse of the femoral head in young adults. Treatment is usually surgical and is determined by the stage and extent of the disease. Here is the case of a 26-yearold male who was diagnosed with avascular necrosis 9 months ago and was admitted with chief complaints of aggravating pain in the right hip. He was given Manjishtadi ksheera basti , Jalaukavacharana , and oral medicines. After the treatment, the pain decreased, and walking difficulty and pain while climbing steps were reduced. This case shows that Ayurveda treatment is helpful in the management of avascular necrosis and helps in improving the quality of life.
