01 ABOUT
A condition in which blood flow to the top of the thighbone, inside the hip joint, decreases
and part of the bone dies.
The femoral head is the rounded part of the bone that bears your body weight. If the dead bone collapses, it can lead to hip pain and difficulty walking.
Treatment options vary with the extent and location of the necrosis and the condition of the bone. The first step is to assess your condition.
How It's Diagnosed and Treated
02 SYMPTOMS
For anyone dealing with pain in the knee, hip, foot, ankle or other joints, or with questions about treatment.
These symptoms alone are not enough to diagnose osteonecrosis of the femoral head. The cause is determined through examination and tests.
03 TREATMENT
Which treatment is right for you depends on your condition.
We explain a treatment plan that takes into account your examination and test results, your wishes and your lifestyle.
We offer joint treatments such as stem cell therapy and PRP (platelet-rich plasma). The doctor decides at your examination which areas and symptoms can be treated and whether a treatment is right for you.
We perform same-day surgery for osteonecrosis of the femoral head, osteonecrosis of the knee, foot or ankle, and osteoarthritis. If a hospital stay would be difficult for you, please talk to us.
Results and progress vary from person to person. In some cases, another treatment, such as joint replacement surgery, may be appropriate. Before any treatment, we explain its cost, its risks and how many visits to expect.
