China has a long history of wine culture, occasionally appropriate drinking to cheer can not be faulted, but long-term heavy drinking, even to the extent of alcoholism, is not beneficial to the body. It is common for people to drink to the detriment of their liver and stomach. However, people may rarely realize that long-term heavy drinking may lead to femoral head necrosis, resulting in lifelong disability. In daily orthopedic clinics, we always see some young and strong male patients with hip pain, who are found to have femoral head necrosis after taking films or performing MIR examinations, and when asked about their medical history, they drink a lot of alcohol for a long time due to various reasons. This kind of femoral head necrosis is often bilateral and has a very high disability rate. What factors can cause osteonecrosis of the femoral head? Femoral head necrosis, also known as ischemic necrosis of the femoral head, is a type of disease in which the blood circulation to the femoral head is impaired for various reasons, producing ischemic necrosis of the femoral head. The causes of femoral head necrosis are long-term hormone application, hip fracture dislocation and long-term alcohol consumption, especially alcoholism. Why does alcohol abuse cause osteonecrosis of the femoral head? Long-term heavy drinking and alcoholism can cause alcoholism in the body. Alcoholism can cause abnormal lipid metabolism and lead to increased blood viscosity, resulting in necrosis due to impaired bone microcirculation of the femoral head. Clinical data has confirmed that the rate of femoral head necrosis is significantly higher in long-term heavy drinkers. Once femoral head necrosis occurs, especially in young adults, the consequences will be catastrophic. Early detection and treatment is the principle of cure, but after the middle stage, femoral head necrosis is often irreversible. Blind so-called medication and unrealistic propaganda effects may delay the best treatment for femoral head necrosis and the best time for treatment. Long-term heavy drinkers who occasionally find hip discomfort should seek medical attention at an authentic orthopedic clinic in a timely manner so that the presence of early femoral head necrosis can be detected and treated effectively at an early stage to reduce the risk of disability. The occurrence of femoral head necrosis in young adults is generally difficult to treat, and there is no specific method available. Therefore, it is recommended that all people in society should improve their health philosophy and advocate a new etiquette of interaction and healthy drinking. Let everyone know that long-term heavy drinking or alcoholism is a behavior that is harmful to the body but not beneficial. Beware of femoral head necrosis caused by alcohol consumption to avoid lifelong regrets.
