Could anyone tell me what are the advantages of having THR or resurfacing? I have been diagnosed with AVN in both hips. I am still extremely active even though the pain is unbearable at times, I have been reading that it is better to resurface first then later get THR. Also I was considering having my surgery done in India, the U.S. is out of the question, I have no insurance and been out of work since 2004 due to constant pain. Can anyone give me any suggestions?
thanks
Jodi
 
You don't say how old you are, shanti. But if you are under 45 yrs, then yes, it is better to get a resurfacing done as a primary procedure. Can't help with the rest, sorry.
