Hi Jan,
I live in central NJ--where are you? I had my left hip resurfaced by
Dr. Mont in Baltimore. He is very familiar with AVN cases--I would
call him an AVN expert but don't like to through that term around
loosely. You might want to contact him too. I believe he will look
at your films free of charge if you send them to him, either email
or regular mail. If you need any more info, drop me an email--I'm
happy to help.
Best of luck with both your hip and other health concerns.
