Question
What are the causes of osteonecrosis of the femoral head?
Answer
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a challenging condition in orthopedics, primarily caused by long-term use of high doses of corticosteroids and excessive alcohol consumption. These factors lead to blockages in the arteries supplying blood to the femoral head, ultimately resulting in ischemic necrosis. In addition, it is important to rest adequately, maintain good sleep quality, and avoid hip joint pain and deformities of the femoral head to prevent impairment of hip joint function. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention immediately to determine the cause and maintain a positive attitude. Regularly consume vegetables and fruits to promote hydration.
