2. Oral medication: local pain caused by trauma, especially severe symptoms, oral pain medication (ibuprofen, etc.) can be taken under the guidance of a physician; there are infectious lesions resulting in the need to apply anti-inflammatory drugs (cefixime, etc.).
3. Closure therapy: for recurrent pain caused by peripheral tendonitis and synovitis, closed injections (glucocorticoid, anesthetic drugs and saline mixture) can be used for control.
4. Surgery: internal fixation surgery can be chosen for intertrochanteric fracture of the femur; tumor lesions can be directly removed by surgery; ischemic necrosis of the femoral head and traumatic arthritis can be treated by joint replacement surgery.
