Avn level 4 mandates total hip replacement at all age groups. The choice of implant may vary from patient age group and surgeon preference. However you should discuss with surgeon and plan the future accordingly. For eg hip replacement patient might 've some difficulties in routine life. Which you need to discuss prior with the surgeon. As far life of implant is concerned, don't worry. In Indian patient they can last a lifetime.
