A member asked:

I was diagnosis yesterday with a collapsed femoral head ? how long can it go untreated? complications? can i remain active (swim, bike, etc) until treated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would think that : Any activity could make the issue worse as if the head is collapsed you can further ruin the joint.....
