Resurfacing after failed FVFG/AVN?

I was curious if anyone here has had a resurfacing after being diagnosed with avascular necrosis (avn) or had a free vascularized fibular graft (fvfg)?
I am 22 years old, diagnosed with avn at age 12, and had a fvfg surgery. The operation provided a tolerable amount of relief for 7-8 years, but these last few years have been tough. I am told my only option is a total hip. However, I wanted to explore the resurfacing route. I am not sure if my bone structure will allow for a resurfacing. I have contacted Dr. Su and Gross for appointments, but wanted to know if anyone else has a similar experience in the meantime. Thanks!

I saw your post hadn't a reply.  I'm pretty confident Dr Gross or Dr Su will be able to answer your question.  Take all of your cell phone calls, and have a good list of your questions ready.

July 2020 Biomet Magnum Trispike, Dr Gross. Needed 5cm3 bone graft behind acetabular cup.  That's a whole lot of packed in bone dust I pray heals.
