Role of Ayurveda in the Conservative Management of Avascular Necrosis of Femur Head - A Case Report
Abstract
Avascular necrosis describes the death of bone due to impairment of its blood supply. Non-traumatic or idiopathic osteonecrosis is thought to be the result of an ischemic episode affecting the bone and marrow tissue and may cause a progressive collapse of the femoral head in adults. Treatment is usually surgical and is determined by the stage and extent of the disease. Here is the case of a 36-year-old female who was diagnosed with avascular necrosis one and half years ago and was admitted with chief complaints of severe pain, stiffness in the left hip with radiating pain from left hip to lower limb and occasional pain in right hip. She was given Ksheera Vaitarana Basti and oral medications for period of 12 days. After the treatment pain, stiffness in left hip has reduced and gait was improved. This case shows that Ayurveda treatment is helpful in the management of avascular necrosis and helps in improving the quality of life.
