Sequelae of femoral head necrosis replacement

Nowadays, most people do not have time for physical exercise due to their busy work. So many people have joint problems to varying degrees. In mild cases, you may just feel body aches, but in severe cases, you may develop femoral head necrosis.

Femoral head necrosis surgery:

Femoral head necrosis replacement surgery (1) Age limit: It is only suitable for elderly people over 60 years old and those with strong physique. However, most people of this age have other diseases and are weak and cannot tolerate the trauma caused by surgery.

Femoral head necrosis replacement surgery (4) Rejection reaction: fever, redness, swelling, pain, etc. after surgery.

(5) Complications of femoral head replacement surgery: postoperative pain, limited movement, acetabular wear, prosthesis fracture, prosthesis infection, cortical bone penetration, intraoperative femoral neck fracture, fat embolism, etc. This method with no retreat is like gambling. If you lose, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Therefore, some doctors in clinical practice advise patients in the early and middle stages not to receive treatment, and allow the disease to develop to a serious state before undergoing surgery. This is obviously unscientific and instead delays the best time to treat the disease.

Imported materials can generally be used for about 20 years.
