Avascular necrosis (AVN) primarily refers to the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply, which can lead to joint pain and dysfunction. While AVN itself does not directly cause hip dysplasia, the complications and structural changes resulting from AVN can exacerbate existing hip dysplasia or contribute to joint instability. Therefore, while they are separate conditions, the effects of AVN can impact hip joint development and function.
There is no such thing... Do you avascular necrosis?
The use of Prednisone can cause Avascular Necrosis. This would affect the bone area. It has been reported that those who have taken doses greater then 20 milligrams a day of Prednisone have experienced this condition, particularly in the hip area.

Hip dysplasia is an abnormal formation of the hip socket that, in its more severe form, can eventually cause crippling lameness and painful arthritis of the joints.
The hip is susceptible to damage from a number of diseases and disorders, including arthritis, traumatic injury, avascular necrosis, cerebral palsy, or Legg-Calve-Perthes (LCP) disease in young patients.
Depending on how advanced this is, you may lose the head of the femur, this will mean you will not be able to move much at all, and may cause a great deal of pain. I would listen to your Dr's advice!
Hip resurfacing or total hip replacement
Hip dysplasia can cause a limp, constant and/or debilitating pain, arthritis, and impaired mobility later in life.

Bulldog is prone to hip Dysplasia.
Yes, especially in older Golden Retrievers. Hip dysplasia is common in many large breeds.
