I talk so many people around the world with Avascular Necrosis/ Osteonecrosis so often it’s sad because they struggle to find qualified doctors and surgeons knowledgeable about the disease.
I also here in the USA found it hard to find doctors who are not just educated in avn but really know about it and have a true interest in helping their patients.
The only I have spoke with are listed in my list for USA doctors.
I am working on a world wide list.
Here is also great information on orthopedic societies by country.
