As far as I know, normal. You may be limited, but don't think affects lifespan.

Totally depends on the hand you've been dealt in life, and the journey you seek out. AVN is only one card in the deck!

I am unaware of any unusual shortening or lengthening of life spans for those of us with ON. I have read about some studies which link On, and Osteoporosis and Ostiopetrosis to a defective gene in the DNA. I don't know what is affected, and what might change because of this. Depending on the severity and location, and I suppose life length may be affected.

Osteonecrosis does not affect life expectancy.

AVN/Osteonecrosis Is not a lethal disease. Although the prognosis is a major blow to living a normal life without pain, it does not “spread” to other areas of your body. Some people have been diagnosed with AVN/Osteonecrosis in every joint, and recent cases have shown it’s ability to even been diagnosed in the jaw and spine.

As of today there isn’t a life expectancy. It is not a terminal disease. So you should live a normal lifespan. There is much needed research that needs to be done genetically.

AVN is not fatal. It is a mobility fatality

People with osteonecrosis can usually expect to live to a normal life expectancy.
Surgery to treat osteonecrosis will have risks of side effects and a small risk of death. Your surgeon will go through those with you and the risks vary from person to person.
Some people may need to continue medication indefinitely to resolve ongoing effects from osteonecrosis such as pain. These medications can have risks but they are typically outweighed by the benefits of the treatment.
