Osteonecrosis (Avascular Necrosis) I typed this and google had some information on this...hope it's helpful

Linda,
My husband has osteonecrosis or AVN (avascular necrosis) in both hips due to chemo. He deals with it for almost 9 years. He has some pain and limitation in some movements, but he is still able to play tennis, of course not as before the AVN. He takes 2 pills of "artrodar" every day and it keeps him very well, with less pain. After visiting many doctors, we discover that there is a successful therapy with radio frequency that can stop the AVN, if it is detected in the beginning. Unfortunately we discovered this therapy late. Some doctors tried to do a surgery (hip replacement), but we are trying to delay it because he is very young to do that. If you need some information, please contact me - bete@capacitat.com.br
Sorry for my english. I'm from Brazil.
God bless you.
