Orthopedics and Osteoporosis

Orthopedic care for osteoporosis focuses on a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to minimize complications and enhance patient outcomes. Osteoporosis is a condition that reduces bone density and strength, causing bones to become brittle and more prone to fracture. Symptoms, Causes and Treatment should be addressed to cure Osteoporosis.


Lifestyle Modifications:

Adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D through diet or supplements

Regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises

Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption


Medications: Bisphosphonates:

Commonly prescribed to slow bone loss

Denosumab: A monoclonal antibody that reduces bone breakdown


Hormone Therapy:

Estrogen replacement (for postmenopausal women)

Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Like raloxifene, to reduce fracture risks

Anabolic Agents: E.g., Teriparatide to promote new bone formation


Medical Procedures:

Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty: For fractures in the spine

Stem Cell Therapy: In experimental or advanced cases


Alternative and Adjunctive Therapies:

Physical therapy to improve balance and strength

Palliative care for pain management in severe cases
