Knee AVN experts and pre-operative treatments

greenspun.com : LUSENET : About Joints : One Thread

Where would one find physicians who have particular expertise in the latest treatment procedures for knee AVN? What are the new/experimental protocols/treatments for knee AVN (both pre-operative and/or surgical) that might be successful in revascularization, pain reduction, or limiting the rate of bone deterioration?

If you have AVN, please think about joining the National Osteonecrosis Foundation. Founded by Dr. David Hungerford, Johns Hopkins University, the NONF will help you find the information you seek. Go to their website at: http://www.nonf.org

Good luck to you, Mark
