Causes of Osteonecrosis
Filed under: Osteonecrosis
Dr. Paul Donahue answers a question about osteonecrosis or bone death. He explains what it is and gives various causes.
"The causes of osteonecrosis are many. People with sickle cell disease can get it. So do those who have lupus or gout. Pregnancy can bring it on. Cigarette smoking and heavy alcohol use have been implicated. A hip fracture or hip dislocation can lead to it. For many, no cause is ever found."
