Abstract

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a common disability disease of the hip joint in China, and osteonecrosis of the femoral head caused by hormone factors is the most common, which is related to the gradual increase in the utilization rate of glucocorticoids in recent years. It is a refractory disease in orthopaedics with a poor prognosis. For this disease, the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine has certain advantages. In view of this, the author reads, analyzes and summarizes its materials by searching China Journal full-text Database and Wanfang Database. This paper reviews the mechanism and clinical research progress of tonifying kidney and activating blood circulation in the prevention and treatment of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head, hoping to provide help for the clinical treatment of hormone-related osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
