Abstract

Abstract
Avascular necrosis (AVN) is temporary or permanent loss of blood supply to bone. Without blood, the bone tissue dies and ultimately the bone may collapse. Without treatment, the process is almost always progressive, leading to joint destruction within five years. AVN accounts for more than 10% of total hip replacement surgeries performed. A diagnosed case of male patient with complaint of severe pain in right hip joint and upper aspect of right thigh and difficulty in prolonged standing, sitting and lifting of objects, restricted movement of right hip joint and disturbed sleep due to pain. This presentation was correlated with Asthi-Majjagata vata (musculoskeletal disorder) and treated accordingly. An effort has been made in the present study to evaluate the efficiency of Ayurveda Panchkarma in the management of AVN of the femoral head. Initially, patient had been administered Dipana and Pachana followed by Ksheera basti (medicated enema prepared with milk and ghee) was administered in Karma Basti schedule (30 in numbers). There was relief of pain, moderate improvement was found in all signs and symptoms, pain and stiffness was reduced. Improvement in range of movement of hip joint and difficulty in walking was observed. This case study suggests that Bastikarma may provide a significant result in Asthi Majjagat Vata i.e., AVN.
