Hip disease
What exercise is suitable for femoral head osteonecrosis?
Author: Dr. Jiwu Chen
Doctor’s answer
Running, jumping, heavy squats, and prolonged weight-bearing walking should generally be reduced, while low-impact exercise such as swimming and cycling is preferred. Exercise choice depends on lesion size, collapse, and pain level. Worsening hip pain or limping should prompt review.
