Question
What should I do if I have aseptic necrosis of the right femoral head? A few days ago, I fell from a height on the construction site, was taken to the hospital, and they said it was this condition. I want to ask if this condition can be cured, or will I be disabled in the future? What should I do to get better?
Answer
The most common cause of femoral head necrosis is trauma, but smoking, drinking beer, long-term hormone use, and intense exercise are also potential factors that can lead to femoral head necrosis. Once femoral head necrosis occurs again, it is irreversible. Medication can only slow down the progression of the condition. If later complications such as joint collapse or difficulty in walking arise, consideration may need to be given to artificial femoral head replacement surgery. The specific treatment should still follow the advice of a professional doctor. In the meantime, it’s important not to engage in severe exercise and to protect the affected area.
