Hi,
I received accident for hip(L),AVN, and operated with 5 screws 2 years back and now getting pain now. Doctors saying hip is damage due to decreasing blood supply.
i consulted 4 doctors here, 2 doctors saying hip replacement option and one doctor saying replace screws and then re-drilling(core decompression) will improve blood circulation because one screw is touching up with rib and spoiling the rib . And one doctor saying no need to removal of screws, use medicine 6 months and do some exercises,cycling and swimming.
please find the attached the X Ray .
I am expecting help to suggest one good approach.
Thanks & Regards
Ram
