    What is the treatment for Osteonecrosis of the knee?

    Our expert doctors may recommend one or more of the following treatment procedures:

    • Medications: Medicines such as NSAIDs are used in osteonecrosis treatment for relieving pain.
    • Self-care strategies: Excessive consumption of alcohol and tobacco increases the accumulation of fatty substances in the blood vessels that decrease the supply of blood in the bones. Reducing the consumption of tobacco and alcohol can help reduce the accumulation of these fatty substances resulting in better blood flow.
    • Physical Therapy: Physical therapy helps strengthen the thigh muscles and maintain the range of motion.
    • Surgery: In severe cases, surgical procedures like bone surgery and bone grafting may be performed to help the patient get rid of the pain.
