Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Has anyone with AVN had a resurfacing. I read one guy's bad experience where the resurfacing caused AVN. As a result, the femeral component never really attached itself because the bone was dead and it had to be revised to a THR. I believe this is a very rare occurance. However, I know resurfacing has been an option for people who already have AVN. I guess there must be enough live bone for the femeral component to attach to, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience, positive or negative, with having a resurfacing after being diagnosed with AVN.
