Periostitis generally does not require replacement with a prosthetic pelvis. Under a physician’s guidance, patients with periostitis may apply Voltaren gel topically to alleviate symptoms, or take oral medications such as ibuprofen or sustained-release diclofenac sodium capsules for treatment. During treatment, adequate rest is essential; excessive physical exertion must be avoided, as it may exacerbate the condition.
