Question
How long does pediatric osteonecrosis of the femoral head take to heal?
Answer
The osteonecrosis you mentioned is typically associated with fractures of the femoral neck or damage to the external iliac artery, as well as thrombosis or insufficient blood supply to the femoral neck’s subcapsular arteries. In mild cases, it can be treated with Chinese herbal medicine that replenishes kidney qi and promotes blood circulation. In severe cases, a femoral head replacement surgery may be necessary.
