Should I do DC with BMAC/Cell therapy or go for THR for AVN?
My brother, who is 55 years old, has been diagnosed with bilateral AVN in femur head, it has been 6 months since it was diagnosed. The doctors said it is between late Stage 2 and Stage 3, although they were unable to specify the exact stage. The cause of the AVN is still unknown.
We consulted Dr. Sunil Tuli and then visited Dr. Sujoy Bhattacharjee at Max Hospital, Delhi. Unfortunately, Dr. Sujoy was one of the worst doctors I have encountered in my life. He was very rude, had zero bedside manners, and seemed bothered by our presence in his room.
Many people have told us that core decompression (CD) may not have a high success rate, and that total hip replacement (THR) could be the better option. We visited Dr. Sujoy because we were considering surgery with him for my brother if everything goes well, but we left very disappointed with our experience with him.
Could anyone please suggest the best doctor for bilateral AVN for THR? Also, should we consider core decompression with OSSGROW bone cell therapy, BMAC or would that just be a waste of time and money?
