What’s wrong with the pain a year after a fractured neck of femur?

When pain develops one year after a fracture of the neck of the femur, the presence of ischemic aseptic necrosis of the femoral head must be highly suspected. In this case, it is necessary to go to the hospital to review the local X-ray, or review the CT or even MRI to confirm the diagnosis. If the pain is in the early stages or the necrosis of the femoral head is in the early stages, it is recommended to take an MRI to make a clearer diagnosis. If aseptic necrosis of the femoral head is ruled out, there may be inflammation of the hip joint, such as traumatic arthritis after a fracture of the femoral neck. This kind of pain can be given some local physical therapy, external ointment, or oral application of some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs anti-inflammatory pain treatment, the symptoms will slowly improve.
