Patient's question:
How to deal with avascular necrosis after navicular bone fracture?Doctor's answer:
Mainly due to sequelae left by trauma, a second occurrence of navicular bone fracture with sterile purulence can be treated through acupuncture and physiotherapy. Additionally, it can be complemented with taking sodium diclofenac enteric-coated cell repair capsules or naproxen. It can also be complemented with frequent use of hot towels for cold compress and massage to stabilize blood supply around the area and enhance the resolution of inflammation. In more severe cases, it can be treated through small needle knife therapy or bone grafting.
