Femur Head Necrosis (FHN) is a common clinical joint orthopedic-related disease, and its incidence is increasing year by year. Symptoms include dull pain and dull pain in the affected hip joint or its surrounding joints. More severely, it can lead to limited joint movement and inability to walk autonomously. Surgical treatment has many sequelae. The high cost makes it unaffordable for patients, and the side effects of drug treatment are unknown. A large number of clinical studies have shown that acupuncture is effective in treating femoral head necrosis. Therefore, this systematic review aims to explore the safety and effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of femoral head necrosis. ⋯ This study will investigate whether acupuncture can be used as one of the non-surgical and non-pharmacological therapies for the prevention or treatment of FHN.
