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.
