Brief Answer:
Not recommended.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.

Steroid hip injections are not recommended in avascular necrosis. They can cause avascular necrosis themselves. If they are used in avascular necrosis their pain relieving effects don't last long .

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
