A member asked:

What to do if i have intensity in the left femoral head?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do you mean density?: A localized density in a femoral head could be related to a bone Island which is benign, or it could be something more serious. An orthopedic surgeon would be able to tell most of the time just looking at your x-ray. If not, you may need an MRI or CAT scan. See an Ortho specialist.
