- Try building your search one term at a time, and be as specific as you can! Search term example: "chronic cough".
- Do not enter multiple findings such as "anemia, chronic cough, weight loss, vomiting" all at the same time.
- After selecting your term from the search results a list of possible diagnoses will be generated. If the list is too long, you will be able to narrow it down by entering additional terms.
- Do not enter values such as "heart rhythm 110" or "sodium 125", instead use "tachycardia" or "hyponatremia".

Osteonecrosis; Aseptic Necrosis; Avascular Necrosis of Bone
Ischemic Necrosis of Bone; Osteonecrosis is the destruction (necrosis) of bone tissue, often due to an interference with the supply of blood to the bone; It most commonly affects the joints and bones of the hips, knees and/or shoulders; It may occur as a result of bone injuries (trauma-related osteonecrosis) or in conjunction with other diseases or risk factors (nontraumatic osteonecrosis); Risk factors include excessive alcohol intake, some blood coagulation disorders, inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, and reactions to some medications such as steroids, (especially in high or prolonged dosage) -[NORD 2005]-------------
