What is avascular necrosis?
Avascular necrosis is a condition that occurs when bone tissue dies because of too little blood supply. With avascular necrosis, the bone eventually collapses after tiny breaks occur. In most cases, the condition affects the thighbone (femur) in the hip area, but it can affect other bones in the body. These areas include the wrist, knee, and shoulder. Avascular necrosis gets worse with time. The condition is also called osteonecrosis, aseptic necrosis, or ischemic bone necrosis.
FHO surgery is the recommended procedure. Excellent results from the procedure , followed by a good therapy program. Probably need to be consulting a specialist now for the surgery, and be sure you contact the breeder....the breeder needs to know her breeding pair threw this! |
