Femoral head necrosis is a serious bone and joint disease, and the approach varies from individual to individual, and a personalized plan needs to be developed according to the specific situation of the patient.
Although necrosis of the femoral head is a relatively difficult disease to treat, it is not a terminal disease that cannot be treated. In the early stages of the disease, a comprehensive approach can be taken** to promote the recovery of damaged trabeculae and slow the further progression of the disease. Specific measures include relieving further damage to the hip joint, such as using a walker when walking and not bearing weight on the affected limb. At the same time, you can use some traditional Chinese medicine that relaxes the muscles and strengthens the muscles and bones**. For patients with relatively severe stages 2 or 3, minimally invasive hip-sparing techniques may be needed to slow the damage and see if necrosis stops. What is Minimally Invasive Hip Preservation Technique? Minimally invasive hip preservation technique is a method of avascular necrosis of the femoral head, which is to clean up the necrotic tissue in the femoral head by performing a multi-hole surgery with a fine needle, such as medullary heart decompression, so that the femoral head can be restored to its normal appearance. After this surgery, there is generally no wound visible, or only a few small wounds less than one centimeter, and some will make some large passages in the locality, with a diameter of 8 12 mm, and then perform bone grafting from the large passage to the necrotic site. The advantages of minimally invasive hip preservation techniques are less trauma, quick results, safety, and short hospital stay. In addition, for patients with different conditions, minimally invasive hip preservation techniques can also choose different surgical methods. For more severe cases, artificial hip replacement surgery may be needed to restore normal walking function.
