A member asked:
What are the treatments without hip replacement of early stages of avn in femur head for a 32 year old.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Revascularization: Basically observation to start with, for very early AVN, as well as elimination of potential causes such as alcohol or steroids. There are revascularization surgeries that can be done which may preclude the need for hip replacement.
