Patient's question:
What should I do about avascular necrosis of my right femoral head? A few days ago, I fell from a height at a construction site and was taken to the hospital. They said this is the situation, and I want to ask, can this condition still be treated? Or will I be disabled for the rest of my life? What should I do to get better?Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of avascular necrosis of the femoral head is trauma. At the same time, smoking, drinking beer, long-term use of hormones, and intense exercise can all lead to avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Once avascular necrosis of the femoral head occurs, it is irreversible. Medication can only slow down the progression of the disease. If joint collapse or difficulty walking occurs later, it may be necessary to consider artificial femoral head replacement surgery. Specific treatment should follow the advice of a professional doctor. It is important not to engage in intense exercise and to protect the affected area.
