Avascular Necrosis (AVN), also known as Osteonecrosis, is a condition that occurs when the blood supply to a bone is reduced or completely interrupted, causing bone tissue to die. Over time, the affected bone may weaken, collapse, and lead to joint damage. AVN most commonly affects the hip joint, but it can also occur in the shoulder, knee, ankle, and other joints. Early diagnosis and proper rehabilitation are crucial to preserving joint function and improving quality of life.
