Treatment of Osteonecrosis
Treatment aims to prevent further bone damage and restore blood supply. This is done with a multifactorial approach depending on the cause. It can include lifestyle changes like taking weight off the affected area, avoiding strenuous activity, or avoiding causative factors such as alcohol, smoking, culprit drugs, or treatment of systemic diseases. In some cases, surgery is indicated to restore blood supply or treat the affected area.
