Dr. Thapanut Jantrapas, Spine Specialist at S Spine and Nerf Hospital reveals that osteoporosis is a disease in which bone mineral density gradually decreases. including changes in bone structure This will result in thinning and fragile bones. Inability to bear weight or pressure normally put patients at riskfractureeasily
osteoporosis It is more often found in females than males. and is often found in pregnant women Because the child will pull the amount of calcium away. This causes the bone density of the mother to decrease. Therefore, we should have knowledge about bone mass accumulation. For example, the doctor will supplement the amount of calcium for the mother during pregnancy. But after giving birth, the baby needs to drink milk. Which is necessary for the mother to receive additional amounts of calcium as well Because the bone bank or bone bank arises and accumulates this amount of calcium since we are in the stomach until the age of 20, the body will gradually withdraw and use it. In males, there is more accumulation of bone mass than in females. It is natural that males do not have to get pregnant so they don’t lose bone mass in this section. While females, having children draws up the amount of calcium accumulated to give to the baby from the beginning of pregnancy.
At the same time, from statistics, it was found that women when entering menopauseperiodwill begin to have the condition of osteoporosis as well therefore need to be supplementedcalciumgo in with
however bone Contains proteins that are collagen fibers and have calcium crystallized to bind with collagen. until it becomes solid that can withstand weight, pressure or impact and flexible in itself Building strong bones requires proper intake of calcium and nutrients. The calcium will make the bones strong. Proteins, especially collagen and other proteins, make bones tough and flexible.
In addition, important factors that cause rapid loss of bone mass include inadequate intake of calcium, heredity, or people with a history of brittle and easily fractured bones. Postmenopausal women, smoking, drinking alcohol and caffeine, not exercising or those taking drugs in the steroid group or have underlying medical conditions such as kidney disease
cement injection
Dr. Thapanat reveals that Bone Cement injection is used to treat fractures, fractures and collapses by strengthening the fractured vertebrae with cement. in order to be able to gain body weight again It is another option for patients who do not want surgery. The treatment with this method is very successful. and relieve the patient from pain. recover quickly In addition, the size of the wound is so small that it is almost invisible.
cement injection process
The doctor will take a small needle using a special x-ray machine. A fluoroscope is used to locate and penetrate into the fractured, broken, or collapsed vertebrae, and gradually inject the cement bit by bit. to prevent the cement from flowing out of the bone and wait for the cement to harden Then pull out the needle and use a plaster to cover the wound. due to the small wound size Therefore, there is no need for stitches to close the wound.
In general, there are 2 methods for treating spinal fractures, fractures, and collapses with cement injection. 2. Cement injection by using an expansion balloon first in order to inject a large amount of cement. But at S Spine and Nerf Hospital, we use a special technique by injecting large amounts of cement. Go straight to the broken, collapsed area with the guidance device. This method has very good results and less complications.
However, it only takes 1–2 hours for the patient to recover for the injected cement to harden. He was able to sit, stand and walk normally. and the pain of the patient will gradually Better after injection This treatment must be performed by a specialist in the spine. which has expertise in making procedures only
