The acute skeletal disability arising in most osteoporoses of nonmalignant origin forms a self-limiting phenomenon characterized by intermittency, typically over a four-year period or less. Symptomatically, the acute disabilities that these patients suffer respond to relatively simple nonpharmacologic measures. Once one understands both the self-limiting course of the disability and the simple means of dealing with its symptoms while they last, managing these patients becomes fairly straightforward. We can summarize these means in the following four words: analgesics, rest, support, and time.
大多数非恶性原因引起的骨质疏松症所导致的急性骨骼残疾是一种自限性现象，其特点是间歇性发作，通常持续四年或更短时间。从症状上来说，这些患者所遭受的急性残疾对相对简单的非药物措施有反应。一旦了解了残疾的自限过程以及在症状持续期间应对症状的简单方法，管理这些患者就变得相当直接。我们可以用以下四个词来概括这些方法：镇痛药、休息、支撑和时间。
