Calcium and vitamin D supplementation
Adequate calcium intake through diet or supplementation along with vitamin D to support bone health and optimize collagen mineralization.
Additional treatment options
Weight-bearing exercise program
Regular weight-bearing and resistance exercises to stimulate bone formation and maintain skeletal integrity, which may help normalize collagen metabolism.
lifestyleCollagen metabolism workup
Additional laboratory evaluation including collagen crosslink markers and referral to rheumatology or bone specialists if primary bone disorder is suspected.
procedureMusculoskeletal evaluation
Physical examination and functional assessment for signs of connective tissue abnormality, with periodic reassessment of urinary phosphohydroxylysine.
