Immobilization of the right leg is necessary to prevent further damage and facilitate proper administration of the regional antibiotic perfusion. Frequent weight-bearing exercise may exacerbate the condition and disrupt the treatment process. Avoiding nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be necessary depending on the specific medication and its effects on the treatment. Supporting the right leg in a flexed position may not be necessary and could potentially cause discomfort or complications.
