Treatment options
Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Comprehensive skeletal monitoring
Regular radiographic imaging and clinical assessment of bone density, fracture risk, and complications including osteomyelitis. Includes periodic neurological evaluation for cranial nerve compression symptoms such as vision or hearing changes.
Exercise prescription and weight management
Treatment options should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
Orthopedic intervention for fractures
Surgical fixation of long bone fractures using specialized techniques due to altered bone architecture. May include intramedullary nailing or external fixation with appropriate hardware selection for dense bone.
Additional treatment options
Pain management
Multimodal approach to managing chronic bone pain including NSAIDs, neuropathic pain agents, and adjuvants as appropriate. Regular assessment of pain levels and medication effectiveness guides ongoing management.
medicationCranial nerve decompression
Surgical decompression of compressed cranial nerves, commonly for optic or facial nerve involvement causing vision loss or facial palsy. May involve optic canal widening or other neurosurgical approaches.
surgicalFall prevention and mobility support
Physical therapy focusing on balance training, safe ambulation strategies, and muscle strengthening to reduce fracture risk. Includes home safety assessment and assistive device recommendations.
