I'm dealing with something called avascular necrosis in my hip joints and it's been about two months now. The doctor mentioned something about needing to replace my hip joint. I'm really worried about it. Can you tell me more about what this means and do you think the replacement is necessary?

I just got my MRI report and it shows a high grade partial thickness tear in my ACL with some retraction and a small bony avulsion near the tibial eminence. There's also mention of a chip fracture in the posterior tibial plateau with bone marrow edema. Can this heal on its own or will I need surgery? I'm really worried about the extent of the damage and what it means for recovery
