In the case of stage III necrosis of the femoral head in a 5 year old child, the femoral head has often collapsed and is not able to achieve self-healing.
Necrosis of the femoral head, also known as ischemic necrosis of the femoral head, usually refers to the damage or interruption of the blood supply to the femoral head, which leads to the death of bone marrow components, bone cells and the subsequent repair of tissues, which in turn leads to structural changes in the head of the femoral head and collapse, resulting in hip pain and functional disorders in patients.
For 5-year-old children, the degree of stage III femoral head necrosis is still relatively serious, at this time can not achieve the purpose of self-healing, should actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, the main purpose of as long as possible to retain the biological hip joint, and according to the patient’s specific situation to develop individualized treatment plan.
