On inasmuch as I've had one! What do you want to know?Do you know much about nuclear imaging bone scans?
Well that is true but the problem is that people often leave it late as they don't KNOW how to evaluate 'early stages' and they therefore do wait too long! It's not their fault, that's just the way the cookies crumble!From what I've heard CD can be done if AVN is caught in the early stages, but it seems like that has limited success and often only buys the person some time.

Do you think CD would have a higher success rate if it was caught earlier (ex. stage 1)? What I don't get is the pathology of AVN, the blood supply gets interrupted, but even if it's temporary the bone can continue to deteriorate.Well that is true but the problem is that people often leave it late as they don't KNOW how to evaluate 'early stages' and they therefore do wait too long!
