Abstract

The most typical form of bone necrosis is avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head. The goals of AVN treatment are to maintain structure, function and pan alleviation. Numerous surgical techniques are used to treat the problem, but they are all expensive and have a bad prognosis. These procedures include drilling and inserting bone grafts, performing modified Whitman or Colonna reconstructions and inserting prostheses. Avascular necrosis symptoms are more comparable to Asthivha Srotodusti Vikara (musculoskeletal origin illnesses) and can be taken into consideration with Gambhir Avastha (chronic stage). The goal of the current case study was to assess the effectiveness of the Ayurvedic system in the conservative management of AVN.

The gait, discomfort, tenderness and range of movement were significantly improved as a result of the therapy. Ayurvedic principles conservative therapy of AVN significantly reduced signs and symptoms while enhancing quality of life.
