How is avascular necrosis of the bone treated?

Patient's question:

My best friend's husband was hospitalized a few weeks ago. The detailed examination results showed bilateral femoral head ischemic necrosis. I finally understood why she always paid for everything when we went shopping. Her husband couldn't walk, and seeing her worried expression, I wanted to ask how to treat bilateral femoral head ischemic necrosis.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, regarding the treatment of avascular necrosis of the femoral head, there are several methods currently used in the medical field. For example, vascularized bone grafting, femoral head drilling for detoxification, and osteotomy are all approaches employed in clinical diagnosis. However, the efficacy of these methods is not 100%. Some patients may improve, but the proportion is relatively small. The most effective method currently is artificial femoral head mobilization. Post-surgery, patients can generally recover to a normal quality of life.
