Osteochondritis of the Femoral Head

Osteochondritis of the femoral head (OHF) is a serious bone disease that most often occurs in young adults and adolescents. This disease is associated with impaired blood supply to the head of the femur, which leads to its degeneration and destruction.

Symptoms of AMS may include hip pain that may worsen with movement, limping, limited mobility, and discomfort in the hip and hip area. If the disease is not treated, it can lead to the development of arthrosis of the hip joint and fracture of the femoral head.

AMS can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, injury, infection, and circulatory disorders. Diagnosis of AMS usually includes x-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT).

Treatment of AMS depends on the degree of development of the disease. In the initial stage of the disease, it may be sufficient to use conservative treatment methods, such as limiting physical activity, using painkillers and physical therapy. More severe cases may require surgery such as arthroscopy or joint replacement.

Overall, AMS is a serious condition that can lead to unpleasant consequences if not treated promptly. It is important to consult a doctor at the first signs of the disease to begin treatment and prevent the development of complications.



Osteochondyritis of the femoral head (OA) is a chronic disease that affects the cartilaginous surface of the femoral head. As a result of this disease, deformation and curvature of the neck of the hip joint can occur, which leads to pain in the hip area, decreased motor activity and disability. It is necessary to consider the main causes, symptoms and methods of treatment of the disease.

Osteochondirtitis of the femoral head is characterized by the presence of defects on the femoral head, which creates a risk of developing defects in the hip joint. These defects can be caused by various reasons such as heredity, age, joint injuries or infections. Older people, especially men, are especially susceptible to osteochondritis, which is associated with changes in blood circulation.

In most cases, osteochondritis is bilateral, but usually damage to one side affects the other side, so even without symptoms at the moment, constant monitoring of the condition and attention to the presence of changes on the second side is required. The main symptoms of osteochondritis are pain in the joint or femoral leg, impaired mobility and other symptoms. The pain may be constant or occur periodically during physical activity. Conservative and surgical methods are used to treat osteochondritis. Conservative treatment is aimed at reducing pain symptoms, increasing mobility and strengthening the joint. It includes lifestyle changes, reducing exercise, taking medications and physical therapy. Surgical methods include drug therapy, as well as surgical interventions, which are sometimes necessary to correct deformities associated with damage to the femoral head and tissues surrounding the joint. In addition, specialized stretching exercises for the muscles of the lower extremities can help reduce strain and prevent recurrence of the disease.
