Bone turnover marker surveillance
Regular blood tests measuring alkaline phosphatase and other markers to assess disease activity and treatment response. Imaging studies may be added as needed.
Additional treatment options
Joint replacement surgery
Total hip or knee replacement for patients with severe degenerative arthritis secondary to bone deformity. Indicated when conservative measures fail and pain significantly impairs quality of life.
surgicalCalcium and vitamin D supplementation
Adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D to support bone health during bisphosphonate therapy. Essential for maintaining bone mineral density and treatment efficacy.
