Aseptic Necrosis Index

Featured: Aseptic Necrosis Main Article
Aseptic necrosis (Avascular Necrosis or Osteonecrosis) is a condition that develops when blood supply diminishes to an area of bone and causes bone death. Though aseptic necrosis may be painless, pain is often associated when the degenerating bone is used. If caught early, aseptic necrosis may be treated by grafting new bone into the degenerating area. In later stages, joint replacement surgery may be required.
