Question

Can microsurgical treatment be used for osteonecrosis of the femoral head?

Answer

Generally, osteonecrosis of the femoral head can be treated with microsurgical procedures, which can stabilize blood supply. If the condition is relatively mild, it can also be attempted to stabilize blood supply through various physical therapies, such as medium-frequency acupuncture, moxibustion, and infrared light therapy. In addition to acupuncture and massage, it is essential to prevent overexertion in everyday life. However, for more severe cases, it may be necessary to directly perform joint replacement surgery through surgical procedures.
