■ Mr. A (55), who has been working as a police officer for 30 years, received a terrifying diagnosis that his hip bone was rotting.

By the time he visited the hospital after suffering from excruciating pain, he was already in a severe condition where it was difficult to revive the femoral head.

His diagnosis was ‘Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head’!

It is a disease in which blood flow to the femoral head is blocked, causing necrosis in that area, and in severe cases, destroying the hip joint; the incidence rate is high among young people in their 30s and 40s.

The cause of hip necrosis, which brings men in their prime of activity to their knees, is surprisingly close to our daily lives.
