Treatment of femoral head necrosis

Treatment of femoral head necrosis? I believe everyone is familiar with femoral head necrosis. According to statistics, the incidence of femoral head necrosis in my country has been increasing year by year, greatly affecting people's work and life.

When suffering from femoral head necrosis, the most important thing is to stay rational and choose a good treatment method in time to treat the disease. However, due to everyone's confusion and worry, they don't know what treatment method to choose. Therefore, the following is a detailed introduction for you.

Femoral head necrosis is often called femoral head ischemic necrosis or aseptic necrosis of the femoral head because its main pathology is the obstruction of blood supply to the femoral head, which causes damage to the femoral head and leads to ischemia of the femoral head.

Treatment of femoral head necrosis:

Conservative treatment, early stage of femoral head necrosis is generally characterized by pain. The treatment plan for traumatic femoral head necrosis is as follows:

(1) For patients with severe pain, oral medication can be taken to relieve the pain.

(2) Perform femoral head drilling decompression surgery. If the adductor muscle is spasmodic, adductor muscle release surgery can be performed.

(3) For those with limited hip joint mobility, start self-functional exercises for the hip joint.

For surgical treatment, core decompression can be performed for small lesions; however, for cases with larger lesions or mild collapse, vascularized bone grafting can be performed; for advanced cases, total hip replacement is the only option.

At present, the most ideal way to treat mid-to-late stage femoral head necrosis is artificial femoral head replacement. For patients in their 40s or 50s, this approach is often used if the surgical indications are appropriate. If the patient's condition continues to progress after the above treatment, and the patient is older, artificial femoral head replacement can be considered.
