Role of Osteoporosis in Orthopaedics

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become less dense and more fragile greatly increasing the risk of fractures from minor falls or even normal daily activities Hip spine and wrist fractures related to osteoporosis are major causes of disability and loss of independence in older adults Effective identification and treatment of low bone density are therefore central to modern orthopaedic care especially after any fragility fracture

Assessment in the Clinic

The clinic evaluates patients who have had low energy fractures or who have strong risk factors such as early menopause long term steroid use smoking low body weight or family history of hip fracture Assessment includes detailed history examination blood tests and bone mineral density testing with dual energy X ray absorptiometry where available Fracture risk tools are used to determine the need for medication as well as lifestyle measures

Treatment and Prevention Strategies

Management plans combine adequate calcium and vitamin D intake weight bearing exercise balance training to reduce falls and medicines such as bisphosphonates or newer agents where indicated to strengthen bone and reduce fracture risk Co ordination with endocrinology rheumatology and physiotherapy ensures that secondary causes of osteoporosis are identified and addressed and that exercise programmes are safe and effective for each person
