Is Osteonecrosis hereditary?
Here you can see if Osteonecrosis can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Osteonecrosis or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?
Don't think so.

General not classified as hereditary but some evidence supports a role for genetic factors in some avascular necrosis suggesting that gene mutations could play a role in the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis.

It might be, but there isn't any evidence that that is the only cause.

Some implicating factors are heriditary.

No i don’t think and no I don’t think either.

Recent research suggests that AVN/Osteonecrosis may be hereditary. Because of the mechanics of the disease and it’s extreme rarity, this subject is being researched more often.

There isn’t an answer to that question. Genetics are being researched as AVN being hereditary.

The diseases that lead to AVN can be

Research suggests that people whose blood clots more easily may be predisposed to have osteonecrosis. Clotting can be affected by heritable conditions (like sickle cell disease), acquired conditions (like high blood lipid levels) and genetic abnormalities. None of these factors on their own causes osteonecrosis but having them may increase the likelihood of acquiring it.
