Is it possible for AVN to heal on its own without surgery if my right hip is stage 3 and left hip is stage 2
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While avascular necrosis (AVN) is a progressive condition, and often requires surgery to manage, it's possible for some cases to resolve on their own or be managed conservatively. The stage of AVN and the specific location within the hip can influence whether non-surgical approaches are viable

It's been three months since my ACL and MCL surgery on my right knee, but I still have a very mild limp when walking. I can flex my knee up to 120 degrees and fully extend it, though it's still a little less than my left leg since that one hyperextends. Is this slight limp normal? I can climb stairs but only one at a time.
A mild limp after ACL and MCL surgery at 3 months is common.Physiotherapy should continue and full recovery may take 6–12 months with gradual improvement.
