Avascular Necrosis Health Center

Avascular necrosis is the death of bone tissue due to lack of blood supply. Avascular necrosis, also known as osteonecrosis, can lead to tiny breaks in the bone and the bone's eventual collapse. The blood flow to a section of bone can be interrupted if the bone is fractured or if the joint becomes dislocated. Avascular necrosis is also associated with long-term use of high-dose steroid medications and excessive alcohol consumption.
