Patient's question:
A child around 5 years old has recently been experiencing frequent complaints of leg pain, for which reason I am asking: how long does it take to treat early-stage femoral head necrosis in children?Doctor's answer:
The osteonecrosis you described is generally caused by femoral neck fractures or embolism or insufficient blood supply of the extracapsular arteries of the femoral neck, such as the medial and lateral circumflex femoral arteries. Mild cases can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine that tonifies the kidney and promotes blood circulation. Severe cases may require a hip replacement surgery. Your condition might be caused by calcium deficiency, so it is recommended to supplement with calcium. Yogurt is also a very good food for calcium supplementation. It not only provides calcium but also contains beneficial bacteria that can regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for various populations. You can also make more bone broth to drink regularly.
