Postsurgical malabsorption osteoporosis with pathological fracture - what does this mean
Postsurgical malabsorption osteoporosis with pathological fracture occurs when a patient undergoes a surgical procedure that affects their ability to absorb nutrients from food, leading to a decrease in bone density and an increased risk of fractures. this can be further exacerbated by a lack of physical activity, a poor diet, and other medical conditions.
What happens during the disease - postsurgical malabsorption osteoporosis with pathological fracture
Postsurgical malabsorption osteoporosis with pathological fracture is the result of a combination of malabsorption of essential nutrients, such as calcium, and decreased bone density due to a surgical procedure. the malabsorption of essential nutrients can lead to decreased bone density, which can result in weakened bones and a higher risk of fracture. the fracture can be either spontaneous or due to a minor trauma. the fracture can also cause further damage to the bone, leading to further weakening of the bone and increasing the risk of fracture.

Postsurgical malabsorption osteoporosis with pathological fracture - Prevention
Prevention of postsurgical malabsorption osteoporosis with pathological fracture involves lifestyle modifications, adequate calcium and vitamin d intake, weight-bearing exercises, and medications such as bisphosphonates, calcitonin, and teriparatide. additionally, regular screening for bone density and fracture risk should be done to identify at-risk individuals and treat them accordingly.
