A member asked:
Should i receive imaging of my hips to rule out avn, given my history of avn in knees?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only if painful: If you have movement dysfunction, pain, clicking with weight bearing, or other symptoms, yes. Otherwise, it's unlikely to lead to any intervention at this time as procedures are done for symptoms, not merely what is seen on a picture in this case.
