Side Effects from Cancer Treatment:
Necrosis
Necrosis (from Ancient Greek) is a form of cell injury which results in the premature death of cells in living tissue, such as infection, or trauma, which result in the unregulated digestion of cell components.
Osteonecrosis of the hip develops when the blood supply to the femoral head is disrupted. Without adequate nourishment, the bone in the head of the femur dies and gradually collapses. As a result, the articular cartilage covering the hip bone also collapses leading to disabling arthritis. Necrosis is a serious complication of radiation therapy in cancer treatment where radiated bone becomes necrotic and exposed.
My Orthopedic surgeons say the injuries sustained from my accident (my legs sliding apart into an unintentional full split) were so severe due to necrosis of the bones.
