00:00Last year, an actress, Angelica Panganiban-Juman, announced that she has a feeling of avascular necrosis or bone death.
00:10I feel pain in my hips.
00:12There was a time when I couldn't walk again.
00:16I was in pain. I cried a lot.
00:18She experienced severe pain in her ribs and difficulty in moving.
00:23A few days ago, she shared in her vlog that she experienced pain in her ribs after she was in the operation for 7 hours.
00:32What is avascular necrosis and who can be affected by this disease?
00:38To clarify this topic, we will be joined by Dr. Geraldo Herrera, an orthopedic surgeon and a diplomate of the Philippine Orthopedic Association.
00:47Dr. Herrera, welcome to Dapat Alam Mo.
00:50Good evening.
00:50Good evening. Welcome.
00:51Dr. Herrera, what is avascular necrosis and why is it called bone death?
00:57When it is called avascular necrosis, the blood vessels die.
01:02When the blood vessels die, the oxygen is lost.
01:05So, the joint bones such as our hip joint also die.
01:11Is bone death common?
01:14Well, it is not common because the common reason is either traumatic or atraumatic.
01:22When it is called traumatic, it means there is an injury, either a fracture or dislocated, especially the hip joint.
01:29When it is called traumatic, it is not due to an injury.
01:34It can be due to the use of steroids, alcohol use, or maybe it is just related to blood, the blood vessels die.
01:41Doc, who usually has this condition?
01:44It is more common in men, although it is also common in women when they have risk factors.
01:51Is there a specific age group?
01:52No, but it is more common in younger people.
01:55Oh, younger people.
01:56Because they have risk factors.
01:58Doc, what are the signs that a person has bone death?
02:02Number one, especially in the joint, the hip joint is painful.
02:07Although it can also involve the shoulder, knee, ankle, all joints can have bone death.
02:12When it is painful, it is hard for you to move, you will have limitations in moving, you will move slowly.
02:19And if a person has this condition, what can be done to solve it?
02:24Number one, it is better to see a doctor, especially an orthopedic surgeon.
02:31Now, there are tests to know.
02:34Number one is X-ray.
02:35Although it depends on the stages, because there are stages of vascular necrosis.
02:40In the early stages, like stage 1, the X-ray is still normal.
02:45There is a better test called MRI, it can be seen in MRI.
02:50But doc, can this be avoided?
02:52Well, the risk factors that I mentioned, like alcohol or steroid use, because steroids are used as medicine for other diseases.
03:00But sometimes, there are high dosages.
03:03If you feel what doc is saying, it is better to see a doctor.
03:07Thank you very much, Dr. Herrera, for sharing your knowledge tonight.
