Ninety-eight patients with early aseptic necrosis of the femoral head were admitted in Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University and randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group (n = 43) was treated by medicine injection in medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries in combination with inductively coupled therapy (XT-400A treatment instrument), and radiofrequency therapy (PWH-A microwave). The control group (n = 56) only took Danyugukang Wan, traditional Chinese medicine. Ninety-eight cases were followed up since one month after therapy. The relief of pain and the functional recovery of hip joint in the experimental group were significantly better than the control group (p < 0.05). Intervention with inductively coupled and radio frequency physiotherapies can significantly ease pain, improve blood circulation, and promote functional recovery of hip joint.
