avascular necrosis

There is a great article on AVN of the talus (bottom ankle bonee) on the http://avnresources.com non profit website. Here is the direct link. http://avnresources.org/?q=node/63 This is a very new article. Hope this helps.

Oh Thank you so very much for sending me this. My son had his surgery...a bone graft (OATS procedure) at the Seattle VA. Doctors from U of Washington performed the surgery and even brought over the needed equipment. So far it has been sucessful although my son C/O pain upon waking in the am while ambulating, the pain level often goes from a 6 to a 3 as the day goes on. He is so young to have arthritis at age 22. I as a nurse watch his condition carefully and question the doctors who my son follows up with. I would like to see evidenced based studies of patients a year after surgery to see how they are doing/coping. Again Thank you so much for this information.
