I have AVN, can I have a hip resurfacing?
Dr. Bose
I have now done about 185 resurfacings for AVN cases over a 5 year period with many patients crossing the 4 yrs mark. It is interesting to note there has not been a collapse or fracture neck of femur even in a single patient. It is wrong to think that the AVN continues forever in the femoral head. AVN is a one time event in which a strikingly similar sector of necrosis occurs |
