Question

I've been diagnosed with avascular necrosis in both hips stage 3 on the left and stage 2 on the right. The doctor suggested hip replacement surgery, but I'm only 22 and worried about it. Are there any other treatment options besides surgery at this stage?

Stage 2–3 AVN can be managed with core decompression, bisphosphonates, or PRP—joint replacement is for advanced collapse.
