    Study Notes

    Osteoporosis and Fractures

    • Fragility fractures are commonly caused by osteoporosis.
    • The annual estimate of osteoporotic fractures in women aged 30 and above is not specified.
    • The estimated annual incidence of hip fractures in the EU is not specified.
    • The cost of fractures per year in the UK is not specified.

    Drug Treatment for Fragility Fractures

    • The main objective of drug treatment for fragility fractures is to reduce the risk of fractures.
    • Oral bisphosphonates should be taken with a full glass of water, in an upright position, and at least 30 minutes before food or drink.
    • The pH of buffered oral bisphosphonate is 7.

    Fragility Fractures

    • A fragility fracture is a fracture that occurs as a result of a fall from a standing height or less.
    • The recommended age for predicting fragility fractures is not specified.

    Bone Health

    • The main factor that reduces bone strength is osteoporosis.
    • Nutrition plays a crucial role in bone health.

    Presentation at the BSMS Student Symposium

    • The topic of the presentation is fragility fractures, osteoporosis, and bone health.
    • The presentation will cover the role of nutrition in bone health, the pharmacology of fracture prevention, and the role of the physiotherapist in preventing and managing fragility fractures.
    • The main focus of the presentation is on fragility fractures, osteoporosis, and bone health.

    Pharmacology of Fracture Prevention

    • Denosumab is a RANK ligand inhibitor that prevents bone resorption.
    • Romosozumab is a sclerostin inhibitor that stimulates bone formation.
    • Zoledronic acid has the longest half-life among bisphosphonates.
    • Denosumab is administered via subcutaneous injection every 6 months.

    Preventing and Managing Fragility Fractures

    • Physiotherapists play a crucial role in preventing and managing fragility fractures.
    • The recommended frequency for strength training to increase spine and hip bone mineral density is 2-3 times per week.
    • Balance exercises are recommended for individuals over 65 years old, with a frequency of at least 3 times per week.
    • Hip fracture patients require a multidisciplinary team approach for management.

    Vertebral Fractures

    • Vertebral fractures are a significant public health concern due to their impact on quality of life and mortality.
    • The main reason for diagnosing vertebral fractures is to identify individuals at risk of further fracture.
    • The recommended approach to managing vertebral fractures includes pain management, exercises, and pharmacological interventions.

    Exercise and Fracture Prevention

    • Exercise programs that include strength training, balance exercises, and impact (weight-bearing) exercises are recommended for fracture prevention.
    • The recommended frequency for daily balance exercises for frequent fallers is at least 10-15 minutes per day.
    • The main focus of managing vertebral fractures is to reduce pain, improve function, and prevent further fractures.
