Abstract

Avascular necrosis (AVN), also known as osteonecrosis or aseptic necrosis or ischemic bone necrosis, is characterized by the death of cellular components of bone, secondary to an interruption of the subchondral blood supply. If not stopped, this process eventually causes the bone to collapse. This condition is majorly correlated with Asthi-Majjagata Vata, in Ayurveda. The case presented here is of a 32 year male patient complaining of pain & stiffness of back and bilateral (B/L) hip joint, left knee joint pain and bloating of abdomen. The MRI report suggested the case to be of AVN Stage- II of B/L hip joint. But, the symptoms were suggestive of Amavata (Rheumatism), according to Ayurveda. Thus, the treatment of Amavata was followed. The case study emphasizes the significance of the clinical diagnosis for the betterment of the disease condition, and not just correlational diagnosis.
