Patient's question:
Doctor, my mother-in-law was hospitalized two years ago for chronic nephritis. During her treatment, a large amount of hormones were used, which also led to her developing avascular necrosis of the femoral head afterward. In the past two years, the condition of her avascular necrosis has worsened. Now, we want to take her to the hospital for treatment. Can avascular necrosis of the femoral head be cured in China?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, surgical treatment is usually considered. Currently, hip replacement surgery in our country has become a relatively mature procedure. Through the displacement of the femoral head, it can help patients fully restore their ability to walk and reduce hip joint pain. Patients can make an appointment with a formal hospital to see an orthopedics specialist for a follow-up examination to assess the current specific condition. Additional treatment options can be recommended based on individual circumstances and financial conditions.
