Bone Remodelling
Osteoporosis
Definition
Characterized by compromised bone strength leading to enhance bone fragility and increase risk in fracture
Tests for Osteoporosis
low eight (<51 kg), tooth count <20, rib-pelvis <2 finger breadths, wall-occiput distance >0 cm, humped back
-
Indications for testing
70 years of age, 65-69 with 1 risk factor, 50-64 with previous fracture or >2 risk fractures
Previous hip/spine fracutre, >2 fracture events
BMD test Interpretation
-
Z score: # of SDs compared to average person of same gender, age, race
Tests
Calcium, albumin, CBC, creatinine, ALP, TSH, SPEP, 25-OH
Risk factors
Previous fracture, glucocorticoids, >2 falls iin last year, fractured him, low BMI, smoking, alcohol, vertebral fracture
-
Pharmacotherapy
Indications
Suggest: 10 yr fracture risk 15-19.99%, T score <2.5 and age <70, and if not started reassess in 5 year if 10 year fracture is 10-15 or in 3 year if >15%
Recommend if: Previous hip/spine fracture, >2 fracture events, 10 yre fracture risk >20, T score <2.5 and >70
Biphosphonates
-
Pros: reduces fracture, increased benefit/safety
Cons: Esophagitis, soteonecrosis, atypical subtrochanteric fractures
