Usually, friends and family get together, occasionally drink a little wine, that is a common sense. However, if you drink a lot of alcohol for a long time, you should be careful, you may have “drunk” your femoral head. 1 / 3 femoral head necrosis, the cause of the “wine” Under normal circumstances, the supply of nutrients to the femoral head of a single blood vessel. Unlike other organs, when a blood vessel is blocked, another blood vessel can provide nutrition (of course, provided that the main blood vessel is not blocked). Long-term alcohol consumption is likely to cause fatty liver, which naturally increases the fat in the blood, and then produces fat emboli; fat emboli will be retained in the capillaries of the bone trabeculae, blocking the blood vessels, the femoral head is not nourished, there will be “malnutrition” of the bone trabeculae (necrosis), and eventually lead to ischemic necrosis of the femoral head. According to statistics, about 1/3 of the patients with femoral head necrosis belong to alcoholic femoral head necrosis. They all have a long history of drinking alcohol, about 250 grams of white wine or more than 2 to 3 bottles of beer per day. In this way, after about 10 years, femoral head necrosis may occur. In recent years, there are also many middle-aged young people because of frequent socializing, long-term alcohol abuse, as a result, 5 to 6 years on the occurrence of femoral head necrosis. Early stage of necrosis: hip pain There was a boss of a company, who was brisk and had many friends, and usually loved to drink with his friends. Gradually, he felt soreness and pain in both hips, but it was fine after rest. He didn’t care, thinking it was due to lack of exercise. However, three months later, he felt that the hip pain increased when he walked, so he went to the hospital for an examination and found that bilateral femoral head necrosis was in the middle and late stages. Similar cases are not uncommon. In the early stage of femoral head necrosis, patients basically have no symptoms, especially those with alcoholic femoral head necrosis, who only have occasional hip pain, which will be relieved or disappear after two or three days, so patients mostly do not pay attention to it. Because there are basically no symptoms in the early stage, and it is difficult to detect bone changes in the early stage by ordinary X-ray, patients are often misdiagnosed as “back and leg pain” or “rheumatism”; and when the symptoms worsen to the point that the patient cannot stand it and goes to the hospital, it is already in the middle and late stage of femoral head necrosis, as a result The best time for treatment is missed. The hip mobility of patients in the middle and late stages will become worse and worse until they lose it completely. When there is a high suspicion of femoral head necrosis, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be performed, which is very meaningful for the diagnosis of early femoral head necrosis. Early stage can be treated conservatively Early treatment can slow down or reverse the development of osteonecrosis and prevent the femoral head from collapsing and deforming. Nowadays, early lesions are often treated conservatively, including abduction to avoid weight bearing on the affected limb, lower limb traction and Chinese medicine treatment. According to Chinese medicine, the disease is caused by the invasion of dampness and heat and the siltation of veins and ligaments; the basic principle is to invigorate the blood and resolve the siltation, combined with the addition and subtraction of medicines. Chinese medicine does have a better treatment for early femoral head necrosis. However, do not believe in the false medical information outside, but should go to a regular hospital. Treatment, different “policies” in different periods ① For large block of femoral head necrosis, the head is not collapsed, Chinese medicine combined with minimally invasive surgery can be used; ② For mid-stage femoral head necrosis, the femoral head is partially collapsed, bone flap and vascular bundle implantation can be used; ③ If delayed to the late stage of the disease, the femoral head is obviously collapsed, the femoral head has been completely (3) If the disease is delayed to the late stage, the femoral head is obviously collapsed and the femoral head has been completely worn away, then artificial hip replacement is necessary.
