 If you or your loved ones are cured of COVID-19 infection, don't think it's all done. Bone death or a vascular necrosis is a new problem which you are seeing in patients who are cured of COVID-19 infection. Let me introduce myself. I am Dr. Natraj H.M., senior consultant and orthopedic surgeon at Columbia Asia Hospital, Sahajapur Road, a unit of Manipal hospitals. If blood supply to a bone or a part of the bone is cut off, this can lead to death of that part of the bone, which is called as avascular necrosis. Avascular necrosis commonly affects bones of the hip joint. If we detect the avascular necrosis in early stages, it can be treated with simple medicines like bisphosphonates. If avascular necrosis is neglected, this can lead to in the later stages to complete destruction of the hip joint and in severe cases, patients might even require a hip replacement surgery. Friends, be mindful about avascular necrosis and if you have any hip pain, do consult an orthopedic doctor immediately. Stay safe.
