Can a small portion of necrosis of the femoral head be treated without surgery?



A small part of necrosis of the femoral head can be treated conservatively without surgery.

When a small part of femoral head necrosis has not collapsed or osteoarthritis has not formed, conservative treatments such as acupuncture and physical therapy can be performed.

Through these methods to improve the blood circulation of the femoral head, reduce the pressure in the femoral head marrow, get good symptoms and disease treatment and improvement. If there are pain symptoms, you can use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and celecoxib to relieve.

However, if the necrosis of the femoral head is more serious, which has led to serious collapse of the femoral head or the formation of severe osteoarthritis, the patient’s daily life will be affected, and it is difficult for him to sit, lie down, or stand up, so he should consult a doctor in time, and undergo a surgical procedure if necessary. The above drugs need to be standardized and rationally used under the guidance of professional physicians and pharmacists.
