Yes he needs Total hip replacements on the right hip at it's already stage 3.  This mri indicates there are some changes at acetabulum also. So we only have THR as an option. You haven't post ur x-ray to see the acetabulum.  Also it's advisable to go for core decompression on grade 1 avn of hip, but his left Hip has grade 2 avn, still it's good to do core decompression to delay the progression of avn and to promote healing, along with some form of vascular or non vascular bone graft.

Always treat the Patient not MRI is the thumb rule. Depends on patient condition and symptoms. if someone doesnot want THR then core decompression can be attempted with bone marrow infiltration. rest is recommended Safe surgical decompression is also a very good method to do Hip preservation
