Management: Alan RiZe and Snr. Dan RaloxIn this episode, we delve into the pathophysiology of
osteoporosis, a condition characterized by low bone mass and increased risk of fractures. Learn how bone resorption outpaces bone formation, leading to decreased bone density. How are
DEXA scans used to categorize patients, particularly those with
fragility fractures? and how can we manage these patients with
bisphosphonates and
FRAX assessment tools?
