First-line treatments
Dietary counseling and physical activity plan
Treatment options should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
Fracture Stabilization Surgery
Surgical intervention for pathological fractures involving internal fixation with rods, plates, or pins depending on fracture location and bone quality. Orthopedic surgeons experienced in metabolic bone diseases typically perform these procedures.
Bone Health and Fracture Risk Monitoring
Regular monitoring including bone density scans, radiographic assessment of doughnut lesions, and vertebral fracture assessment. Endocrine evaluation for calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels.
Additional treatment options
Calcium and Vitamin D Supplementation
Comprehensive nutritional support with calcium and vitamin D supplementation to optimize bone mineralization and reduce fracture risk. Dietitians may recommend calcium-rich foods and safe sun exposure for natural vitamin D synthesis.
dietarySafe Mobility and Fall Prevention Program
Specialized physical therapy focusing on safe ambulation techniques, balance training, and fall prevention strategies. Therapists teach proper body mechanics and recommend assistive devices to minimize fracture risk.
physical_therapyBisphosphonate Therapy
Anti-resorptive medications to improve bone density and reduce fracture risk in patients with significant bone fragility. Treatment decisions are made by endocrinologists or metabolic bone disease specialists.
