Can femoral head necrosis be cured?

Femoral head necrosis is a relatively common bone and joint disease, which is mainly caused by bone ischemia due to obstruction and damage of blood supply to bones. The more common ones include hormone-induced femoral head necrosis, as well as elderly or traumatic ones. There are many causes of femoral head necrosis, such as trauma, accidental falls, and bumps. Sometimes femoral head necrosis is also caused by other diseases. Like diabetes, rheumatism and so on.

Common symptoms of femoral head necrosis include constant pain in the joint and difficulty squatting. Some people may suffer from nocturnal emission, frequent dreams, impotence, etc. due to femoral head necrosis caused by liver deficiency. Many people want to know whether femoral head necrosis can be cured. Today I will share with you whether femoral head necrosis can be cured.

Femoral head necrosis can be cured. The general treatment uses external treatment, traction and internal medication. You can also use massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, and fumigation as auxiliary treatments. It is recommended that you strengthen your awareness of hip self-protection in daily life. Pay attention to your feet when walking and be careful not to fall. Do not do heavy work, use or use less hormonal drugs, and develop a long-term habit of drinking large amounts of alcohol. Do fully warm up your hips before physical exercise.

1. Conservative treatment

In the early stage of femoral head necrosis, pain is the main symptom. 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.

2. Mid-stage femoral head necrosis

(1) Can be combined with physical therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

(2) Depending on the severity of the lesion, femoral head bone grafting and adductor muscle release can be used.

3. Surgery

Core decompression can be performed for minor lesions; however, vascularized bone grafting can be performed for larger lesions or mild collapse; and total hip replacement is the only option for advanced cases.

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.

In Western medicine, most patients undergo surgical treatment for femoral head necrosis, except for a small number of patients who use non-surgical and interventional therapies. Although various surgeries have their advantages and disadvantages, they are not easily accepted by patients due to their high costs and wide limitations. Moreover, patients with other surgical contraindications and the elderly and young patients are not suitable for surgical treatment.

4. Six-combination synchronous step therapy

The "six-in-one synchronized step therapy" has been clinically validated and is allowed for medical use. The high-end therapies include: nano-TCM treatment, liquid internal circulation therapy, TCM bone cell activation therapy, central intervention therapy, blood magnetization therapy, and full digital multi-dimensional rehabilitation therapy.

The above is what I shared with you about whether femoral head necrosis can be cured. Although femoral head necrosis may be considered a more serious disease by many people, it is not incurable. Moreover, with the development of medicine, there are still many ways to treat femoral head necrosis. As long as you cooperate with the treatment, it can be cured.
