Unspecified osteoporosis with pathological fracture - what does this mean
Unspecified osteoporosis with pathological fracture is a condition in which the bones become weak and fragile due to a decrease in bone density, making them more prone to fracture. this can be caused by a variety of factors, including age, lifestyle, genetics, and certain medical conditions. pathological fractures occur when a weakened bone breaks due to an external force, such as a fall or a blow to the affected area.
What happens during the disease - unspecified osteoporosis with pathological fracture
Unspecified osteoporosis with pathological fracture is a condition in which the bones become weak and brittle due to a decrease in bone mass and density, leading to an increased risk of fracture. this condition is caused by a decrease in the production of new bone, an increase in bone resorption, or a combination of both. other contributing factors can include dietary deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and a lack of physical activity.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete physical examination
- Laboratory tests: complete blood count, serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, and creatinine levels
- Radiographic imaging: X-rays, CT scans, and/or MRI scans
- Bone mineral density (BMD) testing
- Bone biopsy
- Bone scan
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal: To reduce the risk of fracture, improve bone quality and reduce pain.
- Prescribe medications to increase bone density, such as bisphosphonates, calcitonin, or hormone replacement therapy.
- Prescribe calcium and vitamin D supplements.
- Encourage physical activity, such as weight-bearing exercises, to strengthen bones.
- Recommend lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking and reducing alcohol consumption.
- Refer patient to a physical therapist for exercises to improve balance and coordination.
- Recommend diet changes, such as increasing intake of calcium, vitamin D, and other nutrients.
- Recommend bone density testing to monitor progress.
- Refer to a specialist if necessary.
23 Days of Hospitalization Required

Unspecified osteoporosis with pathological fracture - Prevention
Prevention of unspecified osteoporosis with pathological fracture includes lifestyle modifications such as regular physical activity, adequate calcium and vitamin d intake, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and taking medications such as bisphosphonates and denosumab to help strengthen bones.
