Abstract

Avascular necrosis (AVN) or osteonecrosis of the femur head, a disease with many etiological factors, affects young
population and if not managed timely, leads to the collapse of femur head eventually requiring hip arthroplasty. Although
treatment has been facilitated by using a widely accepted international classification system, effective earlier diagnosis
using MRI and more aggressive surgical management, no universally satisfactory therapy has been developed, even for
early disease. The features of Asthimajjavruta vata can be correlated with Avascular necrosis.This is a case report
demonstrating that a combination of Ayurved medicines and procedures may be helpful to arrest further necrosis and
rejuvenate the bones.
