Excessive alcohol consumption is known to cause major health issues. But do you know that your love of grog can damage your hip bones? Orthopedicians in the city say they are seeing heavy drinkers with avascular necrosis (AVN), a disease that kills the bone tissue in the hip joint due to interruption in blood supply .This eventually damages the bone and the joint.“The hip joint is a ball and socket joint. Too much of alcohol can affect blood supply . And without blood, the bone tissues die. The patient can develop symptoms such as pain in front of the thigh, knee, lateral part of the hip or groin,“ says Dr Deen Muhammad Ismail, head and director, institute of orthopaedics and traumatology , Madras Medical College.Brought to you by

He diagnoses 10 regular drinkers with AVN a month. Almost all of them undergo hip replacement.“Most patients with AVN that we have treated are men in their thirties or forties; they have all been drinking heavily for more than a decade,“ he adds. Dr Praveen Kumar, consultant orthopaedic surgeon, Apollo Hospitals said about 40% of AVN patients he has treated were heavy drinkers. “Too much alcohol consumption is linked with AVN. If you are a smoker or into steroids for asthma or other treatment, your cumulative risk of getting the disease is more,“ the surgeon says. If the person is obese or has diabetes, the risk is higher.

However, not all patients diagnosed with AVN have to undergo a hip re placement surgery. Dr Kesavan, a specialist in hip and pelvis at Global Hospital says that only 30% of patients diagnosed with the problem opt for hip replacements. Those who come at stage I or II of the disease are treated with either medicines or a minor procedure like bone marrow injection.A study published in PubMed maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, USA found that excess drinking and smoking were found to be significant in a group of 23 patients with AVN, who were studied. But a clear explanation on how consumption of alcohol and tobacco leads to the condition is still elusive. “Studies have shown clear links between alcohol intake and AVN, but nobody knows how and why it leads to the disease,” Dr Praveen Kumar adds.
