Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
AVN is avascular necrosis of bone. It occurs when there is loss of blood to the bone. Because bone is living tissue that requires blood, an interruption to the blood supply causes bone to die.
The dying bone causes the pain. The medicines are given to increase the blood supply to the area which retard the progress of disease. These cannot reverse the necrosis that has already taken place.
Surgery is the last option if the pain is severe and the necrosis is progressive.
There are no treatments available in ayurveda and homeopathy that can reverse the necrosed bone to a living tissue.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
1. The hip replacement surgery will reduce her pain and regular physiotherapy will then help her in leading an almost normal life. The surgeries are very successful as far as symptomatic improvement is concerned.
2. It depends on the amount of stress the hip is put to. Usually the artificial graft stays for 10-15 years.
3. If there is some problem, then the surgery can be repeated or revised.
4. After surgery and later on physiotherapy, the person can lead an almost normal functional life. There is no other option left for her.
5. It is best to get the recommendations regarding the best place for surgery from your family physician who will suggest a doctor nearest to your place.
Hope my answer is helpful.
