Early symptoms of femoral head necrosis in women

We should be familiar with femoral head necrosis in our daily life. Femoral head necrosis is extremely harmful to physical and mental health. When women suffer from femoral head necrosis, pain is a very common and obvious symptom. In the early stages, the pain may be intermittent and the pain will be aggravated during activities. The pain may be intermittent or constant, worsening with movement and sometimes with resting pain. After the onset of femoral head necrosis, the pain caused by the disease continues to worsen.

Early symptoms of femoral head necrosis in women

1. Pain

Pain is a very common and significant symptom. It may be intermittent pain in the early stage and the pain will be aggravated during activities. The pain may be intermittent or constant, worsening with movement and sometimes with rest. The pain is often like a needle-like pain, dull pain, or soreness and discomfort, often radiating to the groin, thigh root, back of the buttocks and inner side of the knee, and there is discomfort in the area.

2. Joint stiffness and limited movement

It is also said that when a patient suffers from femoral head necrosis, the patient's joints may experience muscle stiffness or restriction. The patient has poor hip flexion and extension, difficulty squatting, cannot stand for long periods of time, and walks like a duck. Early symptoms include external rotation and significant restriction of external rotation activities.

3. Slope

Sloping gait is also a common disease among us. Because the patient suffers from femoral head necrosis, which causes shoulder dislocation, the patient will immediately sloping gait when walking. It is an idiopathic shortening spondylosis caused by hip pain and femoral head collapse, or hip subluxation in the late stage. Intermittent claudication usually occurs in the early stage, which is more obvious in children and adolescents.

4. Clinical symptoms

Some deep pressure pain, pressure pain at the adductor muscle insertion point, 4-word test positive type, Gakas sign positive type, A11is sign positive type, experimental positive type. The external rotation, external rotation or internal rotation activities are restricted, and the affected side may be reduced, with muscle atrophy and even clinical symptoms of subluxation. Sometimes the axial pain is of the yang type.

5. Main X-ray manifestations

The bone lines are fine or interrupted, and the femoral head is swollen, hardened, flattened or collapsed.

Femoral head necrosis damage

1. Affect all normal activities

In daily life, if you find that femoral head necrosis has occurred, the pain caused by the disease continues to worsen and cannot be cured for a long time, causing the patient to suffer from unbearable pain in the thigh, waist and kneecap, unable to move and walk, and even unable to be independent in food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Especially when the disease develops to the late stage, the patient will experience persistent pain, and the pain will become progressive. Experts from Chongqing Orthopedic Hospital recommend that when symptoms of femoral head necrosis appear, you should go to the hospital immediately for treatment, early treatment, and early rehabilitation. Don't delay the disease to the late stage, which will increase the difficulty of treatment.

2. Damage to bone cells

Because its anatomical location is in the deepest part of the muscle layer, it is one of the factors that are difficult to detect in the early stages of femoral head necrosis. The injuries of femoral head necrosis are usually characterized by necrosis of bone cells, disorganization of bone plaque, deformation and shrinkage, or worm-like changes and spotted sclerosis, and the patient has no symptoms.
