Hi, im 20 years old and have Perthes disease in both of my hips. Recently i have been having a lot of pain and an MRI confirmed cartilage loss in my left hip. My doctor, Dr. Kuzyk and Dr. Allan Gross are recommending an osteochondral allograft to avoid a hip replacement. I was just wondering how everything went for you? I am quite scarred and looking for some reassurance. Not quite sure what to expect.
