AYURVEDIC INSIGHTS OF AVASCULAR NECROSIS OF FEMORAL HEAD
Keyword(s):
Avascular necrosis of the femur head (AVNFH) is a debilitating disease caused due to the use of alcohol, steroids, following trauma or unclear (idiopathic) etiology, affecting mostly the middle aged population. Clinically AVNFH is associated with impaired blood supply to the femoral head resulting in bone necrosis and collapse.In Ayurveda, there is no direct reference of disease resembling to Avascular necrosis of femoral head, hence it can be understand on the basis of Vikaraprakriti of disease caused by vitiation of Dosa, Adhisthana (abodesite) and Hetu (causes of vitiation of Dosa). In the present study an effort has been made to understand AVN on the ground of Ayurveda.
