I am a 27 y/o man. I began experiencing hip pain in November '99. I was diagnosed AVN in January '00. It is level I/II in the left hip and level II/III in the right hip. I am scheduled for a core decompression on 3/3/00. The prognosis is good for the left hip (70% chance for success), but the right hip (30%) will eventually need replacement even if the coring is successful.
