AVN per se does not have successful medicinal management.
Discussion can be there between saving your femoral head or sacrificing with a Hip Replacement.
This decision is taken based on Joint changes and Femoral Head status.
Next Steps
Consult online with all relavent papers.

Hello Practo User,
There is no medical treatment to reverse AVN.
Neither any alternative therapies can achieve that.
Yes,by taking precautions surgery can be delayed.
It depends on how much is the damage to the Hip joints and how long surgery can be prolonged.
Health Tips
There are many people around who offer you medications to reverse the problem..but nothing is proven in the medical literature till now...so be cautious not to fall their trap.
Regards.
