I've been dealing with AVN in my hip at stage 3 for over a year now and have seen an orthopedic doctor, but there's no improvement. They're suggesting a hip replacement, but I'm not too keen on surgery. Are there any other treatment options I could try?

It is very difficult to get away from AVN and avoid surgery. Ultimately you will need surgery for sure. You can post your MRI pictures

View allI have 2 dental implants and might need 2 more soon, but my doctor also recommended an MRI scan for recurring shoulder dislocations. Will the implants or any screws and plates from past ortho surgeries cause issues during the MRI because of the strong magnetic fields? I'm a bit worried about how safe it is.
Generally, dental implants and most orthopedic hardware are considered safe for MRI scans. Modern dental implants, typically made of titanium or zirconia, are not ferromagnetic and won't interfere with the MRI's magnetic field. Similarly, many orthopedic implants like screws and plates, especially those made of titanium, are also MRI-safe. However, it's crucial to inform your radiologist or doctor about all implants and hardware you have before the MRI, as some older or specific types of metal might cause issues.
