Thus, important cases chronic pain which indicates a long list causes. also investigation choice avascular necrosis, radiographically occult fractures, marrow replacement disorders, neoplasms, various arthritides involving joint.Methods: This study was done to assess role non-traumatic joint adult age group. The included 54 patients with who were evaluated by plain radiograph MRI.Results: Majority (42.59%) from group 31-50 years, majority patients, 36 males (66.67%). Most common chief complaint unilateral (79.6%), most pathology found necrosis 27 (50%). There no significant association between groups AVN (p=0.582), while gender showed (p=0.021). Plain abnormal 41 out total (75.93%). accuracy detecting etiology current 96.2% as compared 75.9% study.Conclusions: seen be more effective painful where radiographs may entirely normal.
