Osteoporosis without pathological fracture - what does this mean

Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become weak and brittle due to a decrease in bone mass and density. it can occur without a pathological fracture, but can still lead to an increased risk of fracture due to weakened bones. other symptoms of osteoporosis may include pain, stiffness, and a decrease in height.

What happens during the disease - osteoporosis without pathological fracture

Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become weak and brittle due to a decrease in bone density. this decrease in bone density is caused by a decrease in the production of new bone, an increase in the breakdown of existing bone, or a combination of both. this can lead to an increased risk of fractures, particularly in the spine, hips, and wrists.

Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Bone density test (DEXA scan)
  • Blood tests to measure calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone levels
  • X-ray of the spine or other bones
  • Ultrasound of the bones
  • CT scan or MRI of the spine
  • Bone biopsy

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal: To reduce the risk of fracture and improve bone density.
  • Increase calcium intake through diet and supplements
  • Increase vitamin D intake through diet and supplements
  • Increase physical activity, particularly weight-bearing exercises
  • Reduce alcohol consumption
  • Stop smoking
  • Take medication, such as bisphosphonates
  • Undergo hormone therapy, if appropriate

Osteoporosis without pathological fracture - Prevention

The best way to prevent osteoporosis without pathological fracture is to maintain a healthy lifestyle including regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin d, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. additionally, it is important to get regular medical check-ups and bone density tests to monitor bone health and catch any changes early.
