Ischemic Bone Necrosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Ischemic bone necrosis, also known as osteonecrosis, occurs when an area of the bone loses its blood supply and the bone tissue begins to deteriorate. It frequently affects joints such as the hip, the knee, or the shoulder.
When is it worth getting checked? It is worth consulting when joint pain appears that increases with movement or weight-bearing and that persists or limits daily activities.
Common causes: It can be associated with previous injuries, prolonged use of certain medications, or some diseases; in other cases no clear reason is identified.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedic surgeon is the right professional to study it with the support of X-rays and other imaging studies. If joint pain does not let up, asking for their evaluation helps to understand what is happening.
