As General Practioners We diagnose and treat Hypertension We diagnose and manage Diabetes We suspect thyroid hypo or hyper function and evaluate and treat uncomplicated cases We do suspect, diagnose and refer cases of acute appendicitis for surgery Much the same way, is Osteoporosis. We need to know when to suspect, to diagnose and treat. The ONUS is on US

Pathophysiology Osteoporosis Dr.Sarma@works
What is bone ? It is a living tissue It is both strong and flexible It is made up of collagen, Ca and Phos. Bone strength is determined by Bone density and The quality of the bone In osteoporosis both are affected. Osteoporosis Dr.Sarma@works

In the bone we have 3 types of cell lines The Osteoblasts – The depositing checks The Osteoclausts – The withdrawal Chqs. The Osteocytes – The Mechano-sensors The first two types conduct remodelling Trabecular and cortical bone Bone Metabolism Dr.Sarma@works
