What causes Avascular necrosis (AVN)?
Failure of blood supply to the femoral head
What is the pathophysiology of AVN?
Idiopathic AVN
-Coagulation of the intraosseous microcirculation
-venous thrombosis causes retrograde arterial occlusion
-Intraosseous hypertension
-Decreased blood flow to femoral head
-Necrosis of femoral head
-chondral fracture and collapse
AVN associated with trauma
-Due to injury of the femoral head blood supply
