What can be done about avascular necrosis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery: If caught early, an artificial blood vessel can be made for the hip, and probably other places. But this has to be done before xrays change, and require an early MRI to diagnose. If not caught early, replacement surgery is needed.
