The aging spine : new technologies and therapeutics for the osteoporotic spine
LANE JM; GARDNER MJ; LIN JT
EUR SPINE J , 2003, vol. 12, p. S147-S154 Doc n°: 112092 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : CA7 - TRAITEMENTS - RACHIS, MA - GERONTOLOGIE Osteoporosis results in low-energy fractures of the spine. The load necessary to cause a vertebral fracture is determined by the characteristics related to the vertebral body structure, mineral content, and quality of bone. Radiographic techniques centered on dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) permit a determination of bone mass and fracture risk. Current medical therapies principally using bisphosphonate and pulsatile PTH profoundly decrease the risk of fracture (50+%). Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI |
