Document Summary
Wearing down of protective cartilage between bones. More bone cells dying than being replaced. Inflammation of synovial membrane: bones that have been thinned due to mineral loss and are vulnerable to fracture, at menopausal age there is accelerated bone loss it is preventable and treatable. Bone weakens and collapses causing height loss. Fracture occurs on front side of vertebra: cole"s fractures, hip fractures injury. Wrists or forearms break when a person falls with hands. Serious complications; can cause elder to go straight to nursing home after. Risk of cutting artery or vein due to split bone in body. 20-35% of people who get hip fracture die the following year: surgical options for hip fractures: Internal fixation, hip compression screw, hemi-arthroplasty, total hip replacement. Last two are for more severe fractures. Optimizing bone health: regular physical activity, adequate amount of nutrients, normal hormonal levels, maximizing bone density prevents bone fractures, brief exercises.
