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
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

Does using a plate and screw for a bone fracture help prevent needing another surgery later if the bone breaks again
Using plates and screws (internal fixation) for a bone fracture can help prevent the need for another surgery if the bone breaks again, but it's not a guarantee. Internal fixation provides stability, which can reduce the risk of further fractures and malunion (bone healing incorrectly). However, factors like the severity of the original fracture, the individual's healing process, and other medical conditions can still influence the likelihood of a re-fracture and the need for additional surgery.
