What is avascular necrosis? Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a condition that occurs when bone tissue dies because of too little blood supply. With avascular necrosis, the bone eventually collapses after tiny breaks (or microfractures) occur. Commonly, the condition affects the thigh bone (femur) in the hip area, but it can affect other bones in the body, including the jaw, hand/wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee, and foot locations.
