Treatment for bone ischemia depends on the severity of the condition. In mild cases, conservative management is recommended initially—such as infrared radiation therapy or electrical stimulation therapy at a hospital. Patients should also pay attention to lifestyle and dietary habits: ensure adequate rest, avoid excessive physical activity, and consume foods rich in calcium and phosphorus. For severe cases or when conservative treatment fails, surgical intervention becomes necessary—such as total hip arthroplasty.
