Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned about the locking of hip and also you have AVN of hip, this might be related to the issue you are facing now. I will advice you to undergo a physical therapy session which will help you to maintain the hip mobility and also the strengthening of the muscles, as in AVN the muscles get weak and this kind of locking occurs to safeguard the hip joint and its a neurological protective mechanism call of the brain. In my personal practice we have seen cases with AVN and with physical therapy they get the maximum outcome scores.
