Alendronate bone fractures
Common Questions and Answers about Alendronate bone fractures
fosamax
Basically, in normal bone bone formation and bone resorption are closely coupled. When the rate of resorption exceeds the rate of formation there is a decrease in bone mass. The amount of bone necessary to mechanically support the skeleton eventually falls below the fracture threshold.
There are many degrees of osteoporosis and treatments available. I am not qualified to suggest a specific treatment.
Do you mean Fosamax (alendronate)? If you do, its for treating bone problems like Osteoperosis by adding bone mass and slows bone loss. I use it for Osteopenia.
Fibrous dysplasia of the bone in adults is a rare anomaly of skeletal development caused by a defect in differentiation of osteoblasts. This condition is associated with bone pain, bone deformity, and an increased incidence of fracture. Involvement of the skull is associated with headache along with dysmorphic features. Until recently, the principal treatment has been resection or fracture repair, although the latter is often palliative at best.
"Stress fractures" are an injury to the bone caused by repetitive strain on the weight bearing bones. They are common in the tibia, tarsals, and metatarsals of the feet. They are one of the most common athletic injuries. They are not related to MS, but could be related to D3, calcium, and/or phosphorus metabolism issues.

I have personally evaluated patients for osteoporosis with prior overuse pelvic fractures who ultimately had normal bone density on their DXA scan. Stress fractures themselves are not indicative of osteoporosis. Fragility fractures-- which include a fracture of the hip, pelvis, wrist, spine, or shoulder sustained during a fall from standing height-- are concerning for osteoporosis.
Fractures are not a common thing to happen with vaginal births. If a women fractures her ribs it would more likely be caused a big increase in pressure or maybe she has some kind of bone problem. The only other kind of fractures that occur are pelvic or tailbone fractures & that is from the baby being large in size or the women is of small stature.
My 20 year son has severe chronic bone pain, osteoporosis and has had multiple fractures. We have also had bone biopsy with showed a mineralization defect(focal osteomalacia) and high turn bone turnover but these do not lend themselves to a diagnosis. His blood levels of calcium and vit D are normal. He received a Pamidronate infusion in October 2004 and that is when the pain began. He was completely debilitated at that time as he is now.
hello doc, i got a fracture of cuboid bone on 28 July. I went to the hospital and they applied a back slab and a POP..
I wants to know approximately in how many months my foot will be alright as it was before?? and in how many months wil i be able to wear my heel shoes??
This leads to a weakening of bones, thereby increasing the risk of bone pain and bone fractures. Some liver experts believe that ribavirin may cause or worsen osteoporosis.
Women are at higher risk for the development of osteoporosis than men. Post-menopausal women are particularly susceptible to osteoporosis because, as estrogen production stops, bone loss accelerates. In addition, women naturally have a lower percentage of muscle and bone mass than men.
My 8 year old son hurt his ankle three weeks ago in a soccer game, after two sets of xrays showing no fractures or obvious growth plate concerns, his orthopedic doctor ordered an MRI. He was diagnosed with a mild bone contusion or bruise. The mri showed no issue with ligaments or tendons and confirmed no fractures or growth plate concerns. He has been in an immobilizing walking brace for two weeks now, going on three.....How long does something like this typically take to heal up in a child?
Finally, 6 months after the injury, with no signs of "Bridging Bone" my Doctor has recommended surgery. As I was expecting, he is recommending the plate and screws surgery that seems to be the most common. My question now is where to get the bone for the bone graft that will be required. The options the doc gave me are either bone material from a "bone bank" or a bone graft from my own hip. Any thoughts on this? Does anyone know how painful the hip graft would be?
One begins at the orbital rim around the lefort II line and ends behind the last upper tooth and the other is about 15 mm beside that on the rim. The bone between the fractures is sunken and has been misaligned and is partly behind the nasal bone. The orbital floor is also sunken and the eye is about 3 mm down and 2-3 mm enophthalmos. I have latent strabismus inward on the eye and occational double vision, more when tired.
Hi. So, are you talking about 'bent' bones and not fractures? A complete fracture is when a bone breaks all the way through and the other is when it doesn't so the bones 'bend' or look bent. How old are you, if you don't mind me asking and how long has this been an issue that you've noticed?
There is a rare disease called 'bent bone dysplasia syndrome' But am guessing you don't have this as it has a host of features and is very serious.
I sustained four fractures and a dislocated elbow on 7/11/10. Had surgery on 7/15/10 during which a plate, many screws and other assorted pieces of metal were inserted to piece the fractures and dislocated elbow back together. My latest x-ray last Monday seemed to indicate the fractures have healed. The surgeon says "you shouldn't be having pain" but I have pain. Any suggestions?
