AVN Hip Surgery
Joint-preserving and replacement options for avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
Overview
Avascular necrosis (AVN) is loss of blood supply to the femoral head, often affecting adults in their 30s–50s. Early stages can be managed with core decompression to preserve your own hip; advanced disease is best treated with hip replacement to restore pain-free mobility.

- AVN with hip pain
- Steroid-induced AVN
- Post-traumatic AVN
- Alcohol-related AVN
Key benefits
- Early-stage joint preservation
- Predictable pain relief with replacement
- Return to work and sport
Surgical approach
- MRI-based staging
- Core decompression in early disease
- Total hip replacement in collapsed / advanced disease
Recovery timeline
- Depends on procedure — 1–3 days stay
- Guided physiotherapy
- Return to work in 4–8 weeks
