What Causes Avascular Necrosis? There are two major forms of AVN, traumatic or non-traumatic (meaning no injury). Hip fractures or hip joint dislocations, partial or complete, are the most common causes of AVN. Direct damage to the hip blood vessels can occur with these injuries, resulting in loss or compromise of blood flow to the femoral head. The mysterious loss of blood flow to the hip in the non-traumatic form has been associated with many risk factors, but the exact cause is not always well understood. In fact, about 25% of patients with AVN of the hip develop the disorder for no apparent reason.
