I've been dealing with AVN in my right hip for about 3 years now and I'm only 33. I've also been on Medrol for 5 years for either sarcoidosis or HSP but it's never been properly diagnosed. I need a single side total hip replacement and would prefer ceramic on poly implants but money's tight since I lost my job due to the AVN and don't have medical insurance. Can you suggest some affordable hospitals for this surgery?

I have a bimalleolar fracture in my lower right leg and my surgery is scheduled in two weeks is it safe to wait that long? Also, I've noticed bruising near my knee on my calf, which seems pretty far from the ankle fracture. Should I be worried about that?

A repeat x ray is advised prior to the surgery to check any fractures and soft tissue swelling.
