Causes of Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is caused by two types of reasons, one is primary disease, and the other is secondary disease. Primary disease is commonly seen in postmenopausal women, as well as in some chronic strain injuries, and the occurrence of some metabolic diseases, which accounts for primary osteoporosis. Secondary osteoporosis may be due to trauma, long-term plaster immobilization, or lack of weight bearing after surgical fixation, leading to disuse osteoporosis.

Symptoms of Periarthritis of Shoulder

Periarthritis of the shoulder refers to the aseptic inflammation of the joint capsule, ligaments, and tendons around the shoulder joint due to chronic strain. This results in localized pain and restricted mobility. Additionally, the shoulder joint is affected during active actions such as lifting, abducting, and extending. During passive lifting activities, the pain may worsen. Also, pain is notably more severe at rest during the night. In the morning, there can be joint stiffness, which may ease after some movement, reducing both stiffness and pain.

How to treat osteoporosis?

To address osteoporosis, it's crucial to determine whether it's primary or secondary in origin. For primary osteoporosis, it is advisable to appropriately supplement with calcium and vitamin D to facilitate bone formation and engage in suitable exercise to strengthen the bones. If the osteoporosis is severe, adding medications that promote bone formation and inhibit bone loss can aid in treatment. If a fracture occurs due to osteoporosis, it is first necessary to reposition and stabilize the fracture, while also using medications to prevent further osteoporosis. Osteoporosis caused by long-term immobilization after a fracture can be managed by increasing physical activity, which helps restore blood flow around the fractured area and prevent such osteoporosis.

Is periarthritis of the shoulder serious?

Periarthritis of the shoulder refers to the aseptic inflammatory reaction caused by chronic strain on the tendons, ligaments, and joint capsule around the shoulder joint, characterized by local pain, swelling, and even limited mobility. The typical symptom is resting pain, and pain occurs during both active and passive movements. If periarthritis of the shoulder occurs, it is advisable to visit the orthopedics department of a formal hospital for appropriate treatment. Besides resting, it is also suggested to engage in proper functional exercises and physiotherapy to prevent stiffness of the shoulder joint. Periarthritis of the shoulder can be very painful and significantly affects the movement of the entire shoulder joint. The symptoms are quite severe, but with systematic treatment, function generally can be restored.

Can a pelvic comminuted fracture cause paralysis?

A pelvic fracture generally includes avulsion fractures, in which the pelvis remains stable, while other types of fractures tend to be comminuted fractures. Whether paralysis occurs following such a fracture depends on whether there is nerve damage. If there is no significant nerve damage, paralysis is generally unlikely; however, if the fracture is accompanied by nerve damage, such as damage to the sacral nerves causing numbness and limited mobility, it may significantly impact function, especially of the lower limbs. Therefore, it is advised to seek treatment in the orthopedic department of a reputable hospital if a pelvic fracture occurs.

What should I do if the ligaments in the knee joint are injured?

Knee ligament injuries first require us to determine which ligament is damaged. The injury mechanism can help determine which ligament is affected, such as an inversion or eversion injury of the knee, which could cause damage to the medial or lateral collateral ligaments of the knee. Sometimes, knee flexion and rotation injuries may damage the cruciate ligaments of the knee. Once the specific ligament is identified, the extent of the injury must be determined. If the injury is minor, such as a contusion, rest may allow the ligament to gradually recover. If there is a tear, but the knee joint is still stable, conservative treatment can be pursued; however, if there is a tear and the knee joint is unstable, or if the ligament is completely ruptured, we recommend surgical repair to restore the stability of the knee joint.

Can I apply heat to a bone fracture?

Bone fissures clinically are referred to as hairline fractures, which are cracks appearing in the bone cortex. However, the stability of the bone still exists, and conservative treatment can be chosen, utilizing limb supports or plaster for external fixation to facilitate the healing of the fracture. During the acute phase of the bone condition, we do not recommend applying heat, but suggest cold compresses instead, to reduce bleeding and alleviate swelling. After the acute phase, appropriate heat application can be considered to promote circulation around the area, thereby aiding the healing of the fracture fissures and the fracture itself.

What ointment is used for tenosynovitis?

Tendon sheath inflammation is a sterile inflammation caused by overwork and frequent flexing and extending of the tendon, leading to repeated abrasion and compression within the fibrous sheath of the tendon sheath. This results in local exudation, swelling, and fibrosis, which narrows the sheath canal. If the symptoms are mild, conservative treatment can be chosen, such as applying non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications, and topical anti-inflammatory and analgesic plasters for symptomatic treatment, combined with rest, immobilization, and physical therapy to alleviate symptoms. If symptoms worsen, local encapsulation treatment may be necessary. If symptoms persist and conservative treatment is ineffective, then surgery may be required.

What should be paid attention to with tendinitis?

When tendonitis occurs, the first thing to do is to rest and avoid excessive bending and extending of the tendon. Tendonitis is a sterile, chronic inflammation of the tendon due to overuse, which can lead to pain and impaired movement. It is important to avoid excessive bending and loading activities, and some physical therapy, hot compresses, and the topical application of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for symptomatic treatment.

Causes of Periarthritis of the Shoulder

Periarthritis of the shoulder is caused by chronic strain on the shoulder, leading to aseptic inflammation of the muscles, ligaments, and even the joint capsule surrounding the shoulder joint. Symptoms include localized pain and limited mobility, often seen in middle-aged and elderly women. Once periarthritis of the shoulder occurs, it is important to determine the cause. During treatment, it is important to rest and engage in appropriate functional exercises. Because if rest periods are overly prolonged during the treatment of periarthritis of the shoulder, it can lead to limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. Therefore, appropriate functional exercises should also be performed during the rest and physical therapy process.
