A 50-year-old femoral head fracture should first clarify the severity of the injury, and then choose conservative treatment or surgical treatment.
1. Conservative treatment: If the displacement of the femoral head is not obvious, the patient can use plaster for external fixation to promote the healing of the fracture site, and can take diclofenac and other drugs to relieve pain.
2. Surgical treatment: If the patient’s femoral head is dislocated fracture, closed reduction is usually needed to restore the normal anatomy of the joint. If the fracture site has obvious collapse and displacement, it needs to be cut and reset, and if the scope of collapse is more than half of the weight-bearing surface of the joint, it should be considered to carry out arthroplasty.
Once a patient has a femoral head fracture, he should go to the hospital for X-ray examination in time, and the doctor will clarify the degree of fracture, choose the appropriate treatment, and follow the doctor’s prescription for medication.
