Avascular necrosis (early stage) Treatment in Sharjah

Al Resalah Specialty Clinic provides advanced orthopedic and physiotherapy treatment for Avascular Necrosis (AVN) in its early stages in Sharjah. Our integrated, non-surgical approach focuses on preserving the joint, relieving pain, and slowing the progression of the disease to help you maintain your quality of life and avoid or delay the need for joint replacement surgery.

What is Avascular Necrosis?

Avascular necrosis, also known as osteonecrosis, is a condition resulting from a temporary or permanent loss of blood supply to the bone. Without adequate blood flow, the bone tissue dies and the joint surface may collapse. While it can occur in any bone, it most commonly affects the hip.

 

In its early stages, AVN may have no symptoms. As the condition progresses, it can cause:

  • Pain in the affected joint, especially with weight-bearing activities 🚶‍♀️

  • Stiffness or a limited range of motion 🤸

  • Aching or throbbing pain that becomes more constant over time 🤕

Early diagnosis is crucial, as non-surgical treatments are most effective before the bone has collapsed. Our goal is to stabilize the bone, promote healing, and prevent further damage.

 

Our Integrated Treatment Approach for Early-Stage AVN

Our comprehensive treatment program for early-stage avascular necrosis combines the expertise of our orthopedic specialists with targeted advanced physiotherapy.

Orthopedic Management

Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation by our orthopedic specialist. They will:

  • Conduct a detailed physical examination and review your medical history and lifestyle to identify risk factors.

  • Order diagnostic imaging, such as an MRI, which is highly effective in detecting AVN in its earliest stages, even before symptoms appear.

  • Discuss your treatment options and work with you to create a personalized non-surgical plan. This may include medication to manage pain and inflammation, or specialized procedures aimed at preserving the joint. These may include:

    • Targeted Injections: To reduce inflammation and pain.

    • Stem Cell Therapy (PRP): Using the body’s own healing components to promote bone repair.

  • Provide guidance on activity modification and the use of crutches or other assistive devices to reduce stress on the affected joint.

     

Advanced Physiotherapy

Our advanced physiotherapy program is a critical component of our conservative approach to managing early-stage AVN. Our expert physiotherapists will guide you through a tailored program designed to:

  • Reduce Pain: Using therapeutic modalities and manual techniques to alleviate discomfort and improve circulation.

  • Improve Joint Mobility: Gentle, non-weight-bearing exercises are prescribed to maintain and improve the range of motion in the affected joint without causing further damage.

  • Strengthen Supporting Muscles: We focus on strengthening the muscles surrounding the joint to improve stability and support. This helps to reduce the load on the affected bone and improve overall function.

  • Educate on Activity Modification: Our therapists will teach you how to modify your daily activities and exercises to protect the joint and prevent further damage.
