Avascular necrosis (AVN) it is basically an osteonecrosis caused due to an injury or any occlusion in the blood vessels nourishing the bone tissue. AVN of femur head is the most common type of necrosis because the artery supplying to that area is very narrow which easily gets injured followed by mere dislocation or a sub capital fracture which leads to lack of nourishment resulting in necrosis. In modern medicine no any specific treatment rather than surgery is available. All treatment costly and poor result. The present case was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Ayurveda system in the management of avascular necrosis. In the present case 41-year-old male is diagnosed with bilateral avascular necrosis, was treated with sastiksaali pinda sweda along with tikta ksheer basti and saman chikitsa. Patient was observed for remarkable improvements based on signs and symptoms before and after treatment. The therapy provided marked improvements in the gait, pain, tenderness and range of movements. Conservative management of AVN through Ayurvedic principles provided significant relief in sign and symptoms and good quality of life.
