What could cause avascular necrosis of the hip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fall or trauma: Avascular necrosis is typically caused by a very hard traumatic blow to an area or repetitive trauma to an area that causes a lack of blood flow to the bone and therby creating the avascular necrosis. You need to see your orthopedist.
