How to treat femoral head necrosis in children?

First, during the treatment of children with femoral head necrosis, the patient's family should cooperate closely with the doctor and must pay attention to the following matters: First, the treatment must be insisted on according to the course of treatment, and it cannot be abandoned halfway, nor can it be taken intermittently, and it cannot be taken according to the child's interests.

Second, other drugs and methods for treating femoral head necrosis should not be abused during the treatment process. For patients, it is not the case that more treatment methods are needed, but rather the correct treatment method should be chosen.

Third, during the treatment process, adrenal cortical hormones or other drugs that affect the efficacy should not be used, and anti-inflammatory analgesics should be used as appropriate. Also, you should not drink alcohol, smoke, or eat too greasy food. Prevent sprains, falls and excessive fatigue, reduce sexual intercourse appropriately, and avoid rough movements. Continue to reduce weight bearing until bone repair is normal. Functional exercises are gradually performed according to the treatment stages to model the hip joint. The bone repair process cannot be rushed, and there is no need to review X-rays or CT scans too frequently, because even if the condition improves, there will be no changes on the X-rays in the short term. It is generally recommended to take an X-ray once every 3-6 months. For femoral neck fractures, strong internal fixation is used, and vascularized bone flap bone grafting is used at the same time to promote healing of the femoral neck, increase blood flow to the head, and prevent bone necrosis. Regular follow-up should be carried out after the operation, and appropriate oral Chinese medicine and calcium supplements that promote blood flow should be taken to prevent ischemic events in the femoral head.

I hope that many parents should take their children to a regular professional hospital for scientific treatment in time when they find that their children have femoral head necrosis. At the same time, we must also provide good care for the children so as to help them recover healthily.
