Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis, organic matrix of bone mineral content and the development of low bone mass, decreased in equal proportion with the decrease in mikromimarisindeki impaired bone quality and fragility of the results led to an increase in the metabolic and systemic disease.

Recent studies in the diagnosis of osteoporosis using dual-energy X-ray absorpsiyometrisi adopted and diagnostics are performed according to certain values. According to these values in young adults, bone mineral density or bone mineral content 1 standard deviation of less than normal; kemik mineral yoğunluğunun -1 standard deviation -2.5 osteopenia is between the standard deviation (bone thickness); kemik mineral yoğunluğunun -2.5 Osteoporosis is more than the standard devibone mineral densityğunluğunun -2.5 In addition to the standard deviation is above and to determine the placement of one or more fractures have been described as Osteoporosis. According to this last definition, oesteoporoz not be broken for the definition and dual-energy X-ray for diagnosis is required absorpsiyometrisi.

The most common bone disease osteoporosis, although structurally related to it arise as a result of other diseases causing significant financial and emotional burden of a health problem and, decreases quality of life of people.

Fracture caused by osteoporosis is the most important problems the work has concentrated mainly on fractures. Development of osteoporotic fractures in the elderly is increasing. Osteoporotik kırıklar erkeklerin 8′de birinde ve kadınların da yarısına yakın bir bölümünde görülmektedir. Osteoporotic fractures are often adopted as the spine, of hip and wrist are more common in.

Kalça kırıkları, more common than fractures of other regions and the resulting fractures are bad. The risk of hip fracture increases with age. Kalça kırıklarındaHip fracturesr after fracture %10-20 increase in the mortality rate was determined, Half of the patients disability and functional dependence arises. Especially the thigh and hip fractures were found to be in the forefront of intertrochanteric fractures and femoral neck fractures as a result of studies regarding the genetic predisposition may be a while, intertrochanteric fracture of trabecular bone density in aging and decline have been reported to be more effective.

While only one third of spinal fractures diagnosed, and coincidentally most of them do not clearly indicate. Pressure, which often causes such as heavy lifting is not responsible for. Spinal fractures, low calcium diet nutrition and weight are important risk factors for the lack of donor activity.
