Osteoporosis results in low-energy fractures of the spine. The load necessary to cause a vertebral fracture is determined by the characteristics related to the vertebral body structure, mineral content, and quality of bone. Radiographic techniques centered on dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) permit a determination of bone mass and fracture risk. Current medical therapies principally using bisphosphonate and pulsatile PTH profoundly decrease the risk of fracture (50+%). Fall prevention strategies can further decrease the possibility of fracture. A comprehensive approach to osteoporosis can favorably alter the disease.
骨质疏松症会导致脊柱发生低能量骨折。引起椎体骨折所需的负荷取决于与椎体结构、矿物质含量及骨质质量相关的特征。以双能X线吸收测定法(DXA)为核心的放射学技术可用于确定骨量和骨折风险。目前主要使用双膦酸盐和脉冲式甲状旁腺激素的药物治疗可大幅降低骨折风险(降低50%以上)。预防跌倒的策略可进一步降低骨折的可能性。对骨质疏松症采取综合治疗方法可有效改善病情。
