In the early stage of femoral head necrosis, conservative treatment can be generally performed. However, when femoral head necrosis develops to the middle and terminal stages, conservative treatment is generally ineffective. In the early stage of femoral head necrosis, it generally presents dull pain, and there is no obvious limitation of hip joint movement. In the early stage, we usually pass MRI examination to confirm the diagnosis. The early conservative treatment methods include that patients should pay attention to rest, prevent the weight of the hip joint from being carried on crutches when going to the ground, or move on the ground under the protection of a walking aid. In addition, some local hot compresses, physical therapy, and relieving local muscle tension can be taken. Etc., so to improve local pain and discomfort, you can also take some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs orally to reduce local inflammatory reactions and achieve analgesic purposes. In addition, it is necessary to take some drugs to improve circulation and blood circulation and reduce fat to improve the blood supply of the local femoral head.
