Idiopathic osteoporosis with pathological fracture - what does this mean
Idiopathic osteoporosis with pathological fracture is a condition in which a weakened bone, due to osteoporosis, breaks after minimal trauma or without any trauma, leading to a fracture. this is caused by a decrease in bone mineral density, leading to a decrease in bone strength, and an increased risk of fracture.
What happens during the disease - idiopathic osteoporosis with pathological fracture
Idiopathic osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become brittle and weak due to a decrease in bone mineral density, leading to an increased risk of fractures. the exact cause of this condition is unknown, but it is believed to be related to an imbalance of hormones, such as estrogen, which can lead to a decrease in bone formation and an increase in bone resorption. additionally, age-related changes in the body, such as an increase in inflammation and oxidative stress, can also contribute to the development of idiopathic osteoporosis. as a result, bones become more fragile and prone to fractures, even with minor trauma.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Obtain a detailed patient history.
- Perform a physical examination.
- Order laboratory tests, such as a complete blood count, chemistry panel, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein.
- Order imaging tests, such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and bone density scans.
- Perform a bone biopsy.
- Refer patient to a specialist for further evaluation.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of treatment: To restore bone strength and reduce risk of further fractures.
- Prescribe medications to reduce bone loss and increase bone strength
- Suggest lifestyle changes such as increasing physical activity and improving diet to increase bone strength
- Recommend calcium and vitamin D supplements
- Perform tests to monitor bone density
- Refer to physical or occupational therapy for exercises to improve balance and coordination
- Provide counseling on fall prevention and other safety measures
23 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Idiopathic osteoporosis with pathological fracture - Prevention
The best way to prevent idiopathic osteoporosis with pathological fracture is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity, a balanced diet with adequate calcium and vitamin d intake, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. additionally, medications such as bisphosphonates and calcitonin may be prescribed by a physician to help reduce the risk of developing idiopathic osteoporosis with pathological fracture.
