Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head Treatment

In this article, we will take a closer look at the treatment for the avascular necrosis of the femoral head. If you approach your doctor with a complaint of joint pain and reduced mobility, they will press your joints and check for tenderness in different positions. They will also conduct imaging tests like X- rays, MRIs and CT scans to find out the exact source of pain. Without further ado then, let us look at what these imaging tests reveal

An X-ray can show if any changes have occurred in the bone. This approach only detects AVN at the later stages. An MRI and a CT scan can produce images that can detect bone changes at earlier stages. A bone scan can also be conducted in this case. In this process, radioactive material is injected and a tracer is used to detect the injured or abnormal parts in the bones.
