Hello, I have A.V.N. of the left hip joint since 2 years. I did the core decompression operation a year ago but it did not work. Is it possible to recover my joint by Stem cell therapy and what is the cost of the same?
Hello, Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip is a painful condition that occurs when the blood supply to the head of the femur (thighbone) is disrupted. Although it can occur in any bone, but most often affects the hip. The treatment depends on the severity of the disease. Stem Cell therapy may provide a promising new treatment in near future.
