Anyone else had Bilateral THR in their early 30’s?

Hi @lindsaylanz. I'm tagging @sueinm, who while not in her 30s, was in her 40s when she had an ACL replacement followed by subsequent hip surgeries.
Lindsay, it's not often that someone in their 30s requires bilateral hip replacements. May I ask what led to your needing this surgery?

Thank you for connecting me with @sueinmn, I don’t mind sharing at all. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with bilateral Avascular Necrosis of the femoral heads. We are thinking the Avascular Necrosis was likely caused by steroid treatment I received while hospitalized. Unfortunately when I was diagnosed my L was already collapsed. The surgery plan was L THR and R Core decompression with stem cell transplant. During my pre op imaging, the R had collapsed during that time frame so I am here today bionic on both sides but I am incredible grateful and blessed because Im here, healing well and had an incredible Ortho Surgeon here at Mayo Clinic Florida named Dr. Spencer Gardner!
