I have this disease and am more than open and happy to answer any questions or offer my support and knowledge to anyone that has any questions o interest in learning about it.
This disease is commonly referred to as AVN/ON - Avsacular Necrosis / Osteonecrosis
At the beginning of this article there is a list of places that are commonly effect; however, it did not include the hips. The hips are actually the most common joint that is hit with AVN/ON. Also, about 50% of patients with AVN/ON in the hips, shoulders, and knees have it bi-lateral (meaning both sides).
