Necrosis of the femoral head refers to the disease that the blood supply of the femoral head is interrupted or damaged, causing the death of bone cells and bone marrow components and subsequent repair, which in turn leads to structural changes of the femoral head, collapse of the femoral head, joint pain and joint dysfunction of patients.
Patients with femoral head necrosis should be treated conservatively at first, mainly including avoiding load, drug therapy and physical therapy. Conservative treatment is to reduce the pressure on the bearing area of femoral head, promote local blood supply and reduce inflammatory reaction, increase bone tissue density, promote bone and cartilage growth, and delay the further progress of femoral head necrosis.
If conservative treatment fails, surgical treatment can be adopted, including interventional therapy, bone grafting and joint replacement. The specific methods should be comprehensively evaluated and a suitable surgical plan should be formulated.
When prompting abnormal symptoms related to femoral head, it is suggested to see a doctor in time and choose a suitable treatment plan according to your own situation.
