A member asked:
My friend has early stage of avascular necrosis (avn) of the femoral head. what medication can help him recover?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
AVN: AVN is an issue with blood supply to the head of the femur. There are no medications that are routinely used to treat the condition. Stopping the use of alcohol is encouraged, and ceasing steroids may be warranted in consult with the doctor. The main treatment is phyisical therapy for symptom relief, and then surgical measures if the condition worsens during observation.
