What is Avascular Necrosis?

Avascular Necrosis is a localised bone disease where the bone dies due to lack of blood supply. Given the bone cells need a steady supply of blood, lack of blood supply weakens the bone which fails to function normally and eventually collapses (dies). Avascular Necrosis can happen to any bone anywhere and when this happens to a bone near a joint, the joint collapses.
