This condition occurs when a bone's normal blood supply is disrupted. The affected bone cells die and the dead bone weakens. The bone may begin to fracture and collapse, leading to arthritis. When osteonecrosis affects the hip, comprehensive hip care at Resurgens can help protect the joint and relieve pain.

Treatment depends on how far the condition has progressed. When the joint is significantly damaged, options may include a hip replacement, a total hip replacement using the anterior approach or total hip resurfacing.
