Avascular Necrosis

Hi yes I had a motorcycle accident, basucaly I came off on ice and hit my hip. As a result my hip was displaced trapping my femoral nerve. This basically meant no blood supply was going to my hip so the bone was dead ie avascular necrosis unfortunately it resulted in me needind a total hip replacement. So avascular necrosis as I understand it basically just means your bones are dead it can be a trauma accident or brittle bones thats my understanding im sure someone more qualified than me will give you a better description and advice.

Good luck chris

Ouch sorry to hear about your crash, i did hear trauma can cause no blood supply. Not my case just an ache in the groin - 9 months later avn and bilateral hip ops due. Months of pain but I have had them both done now.

yeah same here sean...having it destroyed my hips,at the ripe old age of 35 the rheumetologist

said he had seen better hips in a 95 years old!! and then proceded to compare me with one of his old labradors!!...all obove my knees was ceasing up and put an early end to my ferreting season....had bi-lateral THR in the en...that certainly sorted it out!!

I am new to this over a week ago, so don't know if anyone with see this. I am 17 years old I have avascular necrosis of both hips. A virus attacked my bones when I was younger , I've been in and out of hospital having operations after operations. When I was 12 I got told I need both hips replace and they didn't want to do it I will 30. I am now 17 almost 18 and I have asked and asked them to do and finally they said yes!. Getting my right hip replacement in August??x

I have myself I'm 25 I've already had one hip replacement my second is due soon. And now osteoarthritis.
