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.
