Hey Sue,
Thanks for your reply. Yea I had consulted a doctor in Mayo and he suggested direct anterior approach. But I am from India and doctors in India and suggesting wither posterior or lateral approach. So I little confused which one to choose or on what grounds should I select my surgeon.

I suggest that you select a surgeon who has operated on as many people with Avascular Necrosis as possible. And if there are any measures available to you, choose one using a top rated facility with a very low infection rate, as post-operative infection is devastating to implants. Then let the experienced surgeon guide your choice of approach.
