Patient's question:
How should avascular necrosis of the right femoral head be treated? Recently, I went to the hospital for a routine check-up, and the doctor told me that I have avascular necrosis of the right femoral head. I would like to inquire about this condition. Do I need to have my right femoral head removed? I feel a bit upset.Doctor's answer:
Now, if you want to treat the disease of femoral head necrosis, the only option is to undergo femoral head resection surgery. Generally speaking, if this disease is treated conservatively, it can only provide temporary relief of symptoms. At the same time, there are many different causes that can lead to this disease, which may include hereditary factors across generations, or certain traumas, or frequent oral intake of hormone-containing drugs, among others.
