Early symptoms of osteonecrosis of the femoral head

Early symptoms of femoral head necrosis include hip joint pain, limited movement, claudication, etc.

1. Hip joint pain

is a common early symptom of femoral head necrosis. This pain may be manifested as dull pain, dull pain or tingling, usually in the groin area, hip or inner thigh. Pain may worsen after weight bearing or activity, and may be relieved after rest. This is because the femoral head disease causes its ability to withstand pressure to decrease, and it is more likely to cause pain during activity.

2. Patients with limited movement

may find that the range of motion of the hip joint becomes smaller, such as abduction and internal rotation. This is due to the necrosis of the femoral head affecting the normal structure and function of the hip joint, making the joint less flexible.

3. Claudication

due to pain or limited joint movement, the patient will limp when walking. Early claudication may sometimes disappear, and will gradually worsen as the disease progresses.
