Avascular necrosis is a disease resulting from the temporary or permanent loss of the blood supply
to the bones. Without blood, the bone tissue dies and causes the bone to collapse. If the process
involves the bones near a joint, it often leads to collapse of the joint surface. This disease also is
known as osteonecrosis, aseptic necrosis, and ischemic bone necrosis.
Although it can happen in any bone, avascular necrosis most commonly affects the ends (epiphysis)
of long bones such as the femur, the bone extending from the knee joint to the hip joint. Other
common sites include the upper arm bone, knees, shoulders, and ankles. The disease may affect
just one bone, more than one bone at the same time, or more than one bone at different times.
Avascular necrosis usually affects people between 30 and 50 years of age; about 10,000 to 20,000
people develop avascular necrosis each year. Orthopaedic doctors most often diagnose the disease.
The amount of disability that results from avascular necrosis depends on what part of the bone is
affected, how large an area is involved, and how effectively the bone rebuilds itself. The process of
bone rebuilding takes place after an injury as well as during normal growth. Normally, bone
continuously breaks down and rebuilds--old bone is reabsorbed and replaced with new bone. The
process keeps the skeleton strong and helps it to maintain a balance of minerals. In the course of
avascular necrosis, however, the healing process is usually ineffective and the bone tissues break
down faster than the body can repair them. If left untreated, the disease progresses, the bone
collapses, and the joint surface breaks down, leading to pain and arthritis.

What Causes Avascular Necrosis?
Avascular necrosis has several causes. Loss of blood supply to the bone can be caused by an injury
(trauma-related avascular necrosis or joint dislocation) or by certain risk factors (nontraumatic
avascular necrosis), such as some medications (steroids), blood coagulation disorders, or excessive
alcohol use. Increased pressure within the bone also is associated with avascular necrosis. The
pressure within the bone causes the blood vessels to narrow, making it hard for the vessels to deliver
enough blood to the bone cells.
Injury
When a joint is injured, as in a fracture or dislocation, the blood vessels may be damaged. This can
interfere with the blood circulation to the bone and lead to trauma-related avascular necrosis. Studies
suggest that this type of avascular necrosis may develop in more than 20 percent of people who
dislocate their hip joint.
Steroid Medications
Corticosteroids such as prednisone are commonly used to treat diseases in which there is
inflammation, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel
disease, and vasculitis. Studies suggest that long-term, systemic (oral or intravenous) corticosteroid
use is associated with 35 percent of all cases of nontraumatic avascular necrosis. However, there is
no known risk of avascular necrosis associated with the limited use of steroids. Patients should
discuss concerns about steroid use with their doctor.
Doctors aren't sure exactly why the use of corticosteroids sometimes leads to avascular necrosis.
They may interfere with the body's ability to break down fatty substances. These substances then
build up in and clog the blood vessels, causing them to narrow. This reduces the amount of blood
that gets to the bone. Some studies suggest that corticosteroid-related avascular necrosis is more
severe and more likely to affect both hips (when occurring in the hip) than avascular necrosis
resulting from other causes.
Alcohol Use
Excessive alcohol use and corticosteroid use are two of the most common causes of nontraumatic
avascular necrosis. In people who drink an excessive amount of alcohol, fatty substances may block
blood vessels, causing a decreased blood supply to the bones that results in avascular necrosis.
Other Risk Factors
Other risk factors or conditions associated with nontraumatic avascular necrosis include Gaucher's
disease, pancreatitis, radiation treatments and chemotherapy, decompression disease, and blood
disorders such as sickle cell disease.

Who Is Likely To Develop Avascular Necrosis?
Avascular necrosis affects both men and women and affects people of all ages. It is most common
among people in their thirties and forties. Depending on a person's risk factors and whether the
underlying cause is trauma, it also can affect younger or older people.

What Are the Symptoms?
In the early stages of avascular necrosis, patients may not have any symptoms. As the disease
progresses, however, most patients experience joint pain--at first, only when putting weight on the
affected joint, and then even when resting. Pain usually develops gradually and may be mild or
severe. If avascular necrosis progresses and the bone and surrounding joint surface collapse, pain
may develop or increase dramatically. Pain may be severe enough to limit the patient's range of
motion in the affected joint. In some cases, particularly those involving the hip, disabling
osteoarthritis may develop. The period of time between the first symptoms and loss of joint function
is different for each patient, ranging from several months to more than a year.

How Is Avascular Necrosis Diagnosed?
After performing a complete physical examination and asking about the patient's medical history (for
example, what health problems the patient has had and for how long), the doctor may use one or
more imaging techniques to diagnose avascular necrosis. As with many other diseases, early
diagnosis increases the chances of treatment success.
It is likely that the doctor first will recommend a radiograph, commonly called an x ray. X rays can
help identify many causes of joint pain, such as a fracture or arthritis. If the x ray is normal, the
patient may need to have more tests. Research studies have shown that magnetic resonance
imaging, or MRI, is the most sensitive method for diagnosing avascular necrosis in the early stages.
The tests described below may be used to determine the amount of bone affected and how far the
disease has progressed.
X Ray
An x ray is a common tool that the doctor may use to help diagnose the cause of joint pain. It is a
simple way to produce pictures of bones. The x ray of a person with early avascular necrosis is likely
to be normal because x rays are not sensitive enough to detect the bone changes in the early stages
of the disease. X rays can show bone damage in the later stages, and once the diagnosis is made,
they are often used to monitor the course of the condition.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI is quickly becoming a common method for diagnosing avascular necrosis. Unlike x rays, bone
scans, and CT (computed/computerized tomography) scans, MRI detects chemical changes in the
bone marrow and can show avascular necrosis in its earliest stages. MRI provides the doctor with a
picture of the area affected and the bone rebuilding process. In addition, MRI may show diseased
areas that are not yet causing any symptoms.
Bone Scan
Also known as bone scintigraphy, bone scans are used most commonly in patients who have normal
x rays. A harmless radioactive dye is injected into the affected bone and a picture of the bone is
taken with a special camera. The picture shows how the dye travels through the bone and where
normal bone formation is occurring. A single bone scan finds all areas in the body that are affected,
thus reducing the need to expose the patient to more radiation. Bone scans do not detect avascular
necrosis at the earliest stages.
Computed/Computerized Tomography
A CT scan is an imaging technique that provides the doctor with a three-dimensional picture of the
bone. It also shows "slices" of the bone, making the picture much clearer than x rays and bone
scans. Some doctors disagree about the usefulness of this test to diagnose avascular necrosis.
Although a diagnosis usually can be made without a CT scan, the technique may be useful in
determining the extent of bone damage.
Biopsy
A biopsy is a surgical procedure in which tissue from the affected bone is removed and studied.
Although a biopsy is a conclusive way to diagnose avascular necrosis, it is rarely used because it
requires surgery.
Functional Evaluation of Bone
Tests to measure the pressure inside a bone may be used when the doctor strongly suspects that a
patient has avascular necrosis, despite normal results of x rays, bone scans, and MRIs. These tests
are very sensitive for detecting increased pressure within the bone, but they require surgery.

What Treatments Are Available?
Appropriate treatment for avascular necrosis is necessary to keep joints from breaking down. If
untreated, most patients will experience severe pain and limitation in movement within 2 years.
Several treatments are available that can help prevent further bone and joint damage and reduce pain.
To determine the most appropriate treatment, the doctor considers the following aspects of a
patient's disease:
*
The age of the patient

*
The stage of the disease--early or late

*
The location and amount of bone affected--a small or large area

*
The underlying cause of avascular necrosis--with an ongoing cause such as corticosteroid or
alcohol use, treatment may not work unless use of the substance is stopped.
The goal in treating avascular necrosis is to improve the patient's use of the affected joint, stop further
damage to the bone, and ensure bone and joint survival. To reach these goals, the doctor may use
one or more of the following treatments.
Conservative Treatment
*
Medicines--to reduce fatty substances (lipids) that increase with corticosteroid treatment or
to reduce blood clotting in the presence of clotting disorders. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs may also be prescribed to reduce pain.

*
Reduced weight bearing--If avascular necrosis is diagnosed early, the doctor may begin
treatment by having the patient remove weight from the affected joint. The doctor may
recommend limiting activities or using crutches. In some cases, reduced weight bearing can
slow the damage caused by avascular necrosis and permit natural healing. When combined
with medication to reduce pain, reduced weight bearing can be an effective way to avoid or
delay surgery for some patients.

*
Range-of-motion exercises--may be prescribed to maintain or improve joint range of motion.

*
Electrical stimulation--to induce bone growth.
Conservative treatments have been used experimentally alone or in combination. However, these
treatments rarely provide lasting improvement. Therefore, most patients will eventually need surgery
to repair the joint permanently.
Surgical Treatment
*
Core decompression--This surgical procedure removes the inner layer of bone, which
reduces pressure within the bone, increases blood flow to the bone, and allows more blood
vessels to form. Core decompression works best in people who are in the earliest stages of
avascular necrosis, often before the collapse of the joint. This procedure sometimes can
reduce pain and slow the progression of bone and joint destruction in these patients.

*
Osteotomy--This surgical procedure reshapes the bone to reduce stress on the affected area.
There is a lengthy recovery period, and the patient's activities are very limited for 3 to 12
months after an osteotomy. This procedure is most effective for patients with advanced
avascular necrosis and those with a large area of affected bone.

*
Bone graft--A bone graft may be used to support a joint after core decompression. Bone
grafting is surgery that transplants healthy bone from one part of the patient, such as the leg,
to the diseased area. Commonly, grafts (called vascular grafts) that include an artery and
veins are used to increase the blood supply to the affected area. There is a lengthy recovery
period after a bone graft, usually from 6 to 12 months. This procedure is complex and its
effectiveness is not yet proven. Clinical studies are under way to determine its effectiveness.

*
Arthroplasty/total joint replacement--Total joint replacement is the treatment of choice in
late-stage avascular necrosis and when the joint is destroyed. In this surgery, the diseased
joint is replaced with artificial parts. It may be recommended for people who are not good
candidates for other treatments, such as patients who do not do well with repeated attempts
to preserve the joint. Various types of replacements are available, and people should discuss
specific needs with their doctor.
For most people with avascular necrosis, treatment is an ongoing process. Doctors may first
recommend the least complex and invasive procedure, such as protecting the joint by limiting
movement, and watch the effect on the patient's condition. Other treatments then may be used to
prevent further bone destruction and reduce pain. It is important that patients carefully follow
instructions about activity limitations and work closely with their doctor to ensure that appropriate
treatments are used.

What Research Is Being Done to Help People With Avascular Necrosis?
With proper treatment, most people with avascular necrosis can lead productive lives. But there is
still a lot to learn about prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. For example, researchers are studying:
*
New ways to diagnose avascular necrosis in its earliest stages, when nonsurgical treatment is
most likely to help.

*
The various causes of avascular necrosis so that, someday, it may be possible to prevent the
disease.

*
New treatments and improvement of the treatments that are available. In the future, medication
may be an effective treatment for avascular necrosis.

*
Improvements to the various types of hip replacements, to prevent younger patients from
needing more than one hip replacement during their lives.

Osteonecrosis of the Jaw Information
Fosamax ( generic name - Alendronate ) is a type of drug known as
bisphosphonates. Recently a link has been found between bisphosphonates and a
serious bone cancer disease called osteonecrosis of the jaw ( ONJ ). This
important discovery clearly shows that Fosamax side effects may include
osteonecrosis of the jaw.
The discovery, published in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, prompted
both the US, Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) and Novartis, the manufacturer
of bisphosphonates used in cancer chemotherapy, to issue a warning to health care
professionals on September 24, 2004. The warning letter contained information
about jaw cancer and bisphosphonates and the risks of osteonecrosis in the jaw.
Bisphosphonates are commonly used in tablet form such as Fosamax ( Alendronate
Sodium ) to prevent and treat osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. Stronger
forms of bisphosphonates are commonly used in the management of advanced
cancers that have metastasized to the bone, where the disease often causes bone
pain and possibly even fractures. Several cancers can involve or metastasize to the
bone, including lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, multiple myeloma,jaw
cancer, and others. When bisphosphonates are given in cancer chemotherapy, the
drugs are given intravenously, and usually for longer periods of time.

Osteonecrosis of the Jaw
Jaw Cancer
Osteonecrosis of the jaw ( ONJ ) is a condition in which the bone tissue in the jaw
fails to heal after minor trauma such as a tooth extraction, causing the bone to be
exposed. The exposure can eventually lead to infection and fracture and may require
long-term antibiotic therapy or surgery to remove the dying bone tissue. Experts say
that prevention and early treatment of individuals using bisphosphonates such as
Fosamax is extremely important in preserving the jaw bone. Individuals using
Fosomax or other bisphosphonates should attempt to avoid tooth extractions and
other major dental work while on the drugs.

Although most cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw related to Fosamax side effects
have occured after dental work several cases have been reported to occur without
any prior dental work. If you are currently taking Fosamax,Zometa, and Aredia you
may be at risk of developing osteonecrosis. If you have been injured by
Fosamax,Zometa, and Aredia side effects you may be entitled to compensation. For

Osteonecrosis

What is Osteonecrosis?
Osteonecrosis literally means "dead bone" It most often refers to a form of arthritis in which one of
the bones of a joint is affected by osteonecrosis, leading to arthritis in the joint. Osteonecrosis is
known by many other names, such as avascular necrosis or ischemic necrosis. Osteonecrosis
occurs because of a decrease in blood supply to specific parts of bones. This decreased circulation
causes cells in the bone and bone marrow to begin to die. Eventually the dead section of bone
weakens and collapses.
What Causes Osteonecrosis?
Injuries such as fractures or dislocations of certain bones, such as in the wrist or hip, can produce
osteonecrosis if the arteries supplying blood to these areas are damaged. Blocked blood vessels, of
any cause, will result in osteonecrosis. For example, abnormal red blood cells (sickle cell anemia or
thalassemia) or expanding nitrogen bubbles (commercial deep-sea divers or tunnel workers who do
not decompress properly) can block blood vessels leading to osteonecrosis. Taking corticosteroid
medications such as prednisone, particularly in high doses, also can reduce the bone blood flow by
increasing the pressure with bone marrow and blood flow.
Who Gets Osteonecrosis?
The following people are most at risk for developing osteonecrosis:
* those with certain fractures of the hip
* alcoholics
* those taking corticosteroids
* individuals with sickle cell anemia, lupus or pancreatitis
Osteonecrosis most commonly occurs in large joints such as the hips, knees, ankles and shoulders.
People between the ages of 30 and 50 are most likely to develop osteonecrosis of the hip, with men
developing this condition slightly more frequently than women. Osteonecrosis of the knee occurs
most often in women between ages 50 and 60.
What Are the Symptoms?
Pain, both at rest and, in particular, with movement of the joint is the major symptom of
osteonecrosis. Other symptoms include limitation of motion, joint stiffness and muscle spasms.
Symptoms usually begin slowly. If the condition is left untreated, progressive bone damage (bone
collapse) may occur, which can be associated with an increase in pain and loss of function of the
joint. Surgery may be required to correct this damage.
How is it Diagnosed?
Early diagnosis of osteonecrosis is important in order to prevent the affected bone from collapsing.
Information obtained from your medical history, along with the results of a thorough physical
examination, can help identify this condition.
Diagnosis at this early stage is best made by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI is a technique
that produces cross-sectional images of the body by exposure to magnetic energy sources (but
without harmful radiation). MRI is able to detect osteonecrosis before significant damage to the bone
has occurred and before changes on X-ray films are evident.
If the diagnosis is not made soon enough and the condition is allowed to progress, inevitable damage
to the bone will occur with involvement of the corresponding joint. At this point, osteonecrosis
produces changes of the bone that can be detected on routine X-ray films of the joint.




Osteonecrosis of the Jaw EXPERIENCES > JWR'S STORY


JWR had jaw cancer that involved his jaw bone 19 years ago. This is his story.

My story started late in 1983. I had noticed a small lump about the size of a small pea on my
jaw bone. I was not concerned but my wife insisted I see my GP.

My GP examined me and gave me a letter to take to St Luke’s Hospital. A few days later I
got to see Mr Froggat, who along with another doctor, wanted me in hospital for a biopsy.
Later, after the biopsy, I was sent to see Dr Ward at Bradford Royal Infirmary who confirmed
that the lump was cancer. He arranged for me to have radiotherapy at Cookridge Hospital
which I attended for 20 days (excluding weekends). The staff were very friendly and helpful,
during and after the treatment. Following the radiotherapy, I attended follow-up clinics. After
three I was declared free of this jaw cancer. I was a very happy man!



Because early detection vastly improves the likelihood of cure, screening for jaw oral cancer
should be an integral part of medical and dental examinations. Osteonecrosis of the jaw growths
less than ½ inch across usually can be cured. Unfortunately, most cancerous growths are not
diagnosed until they are larger and have spread to the lymph nodes under the jaw and in the
neck. Because of delayed detection, 25% of oral jaw cancers are fatal.
Although most cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw related to Fosamax side effects
have occured after dental work several cases have been reported to occur without
any prior dental work. If you are currently taking Fosamax,Zometa, and Aredia you
may be at risk of developing osteonecrosis. If you have been injured by
Fosamax,Zometa, and Aredia side effects you may be entitled to compensation. For
