My son has avascular necrosis of the ankle, stage 2, while serving in Iraq. Great teaching tool for me while in nursing school. I have done my research and cannot find any new research methods of treatment.
Does anyone know of any new methods other then the standard decompression, surgery and conservation tx ie reduce pressure? Or is this all the gold standard?

Thank you all in advance for your replies

This is bordering on asking for medical advice...but if it were my child (age doesn't matter does it?) I'd see about getting him to a sports medicine orthopaedist. Other than that I really can't say other than keep checking medscape and the orthopaedic nurses website orthonurse.org
