Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The osteonecrosis of the femoral head you described is generally caused by femoral neck fractures or embolism or insufficient blood supply of the extracapsular artery of the femoral neck, such as the medial and lateral circumflex arteries. Mild cases can be treated with some Chinese herbal medicines that invigorate the kidney and promote blood circulation. Severe cases may require a hip replacement surgery.
