- 1. OSTEOPOROSIS
- 2. Osteoporosis is a health condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It develops slowly over several years and is often only diagnosed when a fall or sudden impact causes a bone to break (fracture). The most common injuries in people with osteoporosis are: • broken wrist • broken hip • Broken spinal bones OSTEOPOROSIS
- 3. BONE LOSS BEFORE OSTEOPOROSIS The stage before osteoporosis is called osteopenia. This is when a bone density scan shows you have lower bone density than the average for your age, but not low enough to be classed as osteoporosis.
- 4. Osteoporosis can be present for years without any noticeable symptoms, but signs can include: • Severe back pain • Loss of height over time • A stooped posture • Bone fractures from minor injury
- 5. DIAGNOSTIC TEST DEXA scan, is a type of low-dose x-ray test that measures calcium and other minerals in your bones. The measurement helps show the strength and thickness known as bone density or mass of your bones. Most people's bones become thinner as they get older.
- 8. LABORATORY TEST Serum calcium, phosphorus, magnesium CBC Renal function testing Alkaline phosphatase 24-hour urine calcium Serum albumin Vitamin D 25(OH)D Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
- 10. MEDICATIONS
- 11. MEDICATIONS Bone-building drugs include: • Teriparatide (Forteo) • Abaloparatide (Tymlos) • Romosozumab (Evenity)
- 12. Don't rely entirely on medication as the only treatment for your osteoporosis. These practices also are important: • Exercise • Good nutrition • Quit smoking • Limit alcohol
- 13. SURGICAL MANAGEMENT • Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a newer technique in which a medical grade cement is injected though a needle into a painful fractured vertebral body. This stabilizes the fracture, allowing most patients to discontinue or significantly decrease analgesics and resume normal activity.
- 14. SURGICAL MANAGEMENT • Balloon kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to repair vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) by reducing and stabilizing the fractures.
