I developed AVN from high-dose prednisone when I was being treated for the ITP that I did not have. When diagnosed, mine was fairly early with about 20% damage to the femoral heads. It has progressed a little based on how I feel. The orthopedic surgeon that I spoke to is supposedly one of the best in Denver and he said that based on the science that he knows, the only real fix for this is genuine traditional hip replacement and that the "mini" replacements and drill techniques are not proven and don't last very long.

So, as with my MDS, it is watch and wait.
