Treatment of femoral head necrosis

Femoral head necrosis refers to structural changes and collapse of the femoral head caused by ischemia of the femoral head, which can be relieved by general treatment, physical therapy, drug therapy, surgical treatment, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment.

1. General treatment: You need to stop taking drugs that cause femoral head necrosis, such as glucocorticoids. At the same time, you should quit smoking, drinking, and avoid other lifestyle habits that are not conducive to the growth of the femoral head. Do appropriate physical exercise, such as jogging, yoga, etc., to promote body metabolism and fat metabolism.

2. Physical therapy: You can use a hot towel to apply heat to the local area to improve blood circulation and relieve pain. At the same time, physical therapy methods such as extracorporeal shock waves and high-frequency magnetic fields can also be used to alleviate the condition.

3. Drug treatment: You can take ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, celecoxib capsules and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics as prescribed by the doctor to relieve pain. At the same time, combined with drugs such as Huoxue Jiangu Tablets and Jiangusheng Pills, it can have the effect of nourishing cartilage.

4. Surgical treatment: For young patients or adolescents, hip preservation surgery, such as core decompression, can be chosen to relieve pain and restore hip function. For patients with severe femoral head necrosis and poor hip preservation surgery, hip replacement surgery, such as femoral head replacement or total hip replacement, is required, which can significantly improve joint function and improve the patient's quality of life.

5. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and Chinese medicine fumigation can accelerate local blood circulation, improve the nutritional supply of the femoral head, and play a role in auxiliary treatment.

Note: The use of drugs must be in accordance with the doctor's instructions, and drugs cannot be used privately. During the treatment process, patients should avoid excessive exercise or inappropriate exercise to avoid aggravating joint injuries. Daily diet should be nutritionally balanced, and eat more foods rich in vitamins and protein, such as beef, fish, eggs, broccoli, etc., to promote the recovery of bone tissue. If you experience any discomfort, you can seek medical help as soon as possible.
