Abstract

Aseptic necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) is a progressive orthopedic condition characterized by the death of bone tissue in the femoral head due to impaired blood supply, leading to joint dysfunction, pain, and potential disability. In the early stages of ANFH, timely intervention can prevent the progression of the disease and reduce the need for more extensive surgeries, such as total hip replacement. This article examines the role of early-stage surgical interventions in patients with ANFH, exploring various surgical approaches, including core decompression, osteotomy, and bone grafting, which aim to restore blood flow to the affected area and preserve the joint. The study also highlights the importance of early diagnosis through imaging techniques such as MRI and X-rays, allowing for more effective treatment decisions. Additionally, the article discusses patient outcomes following early-stage surgeries, emphasizing the potential for pain relief, improved function, and joint preservation. By analyzing clinical data and treatment success rates, this research advocates for early surgical intervention as a promising approach to managing ANFH and delaying or avoiding more invasive procedures. Early intervention is crucial for enhancing the quality of life and mobility of patients diagnosed with this condition.
