Draft Recommendations. Pharmacotherapy for the Prevention of Repeated Fractures in Patients with Osteoporosis after Surgical Treatment of Pathologic Proximal Femur Fracture

Abstract

Treatment of pathologic proximal femur fractures complicating the course of systemic osteoporosis is most often limited by surgical intervention as until now trauma and orthopaedic surgeons have no concrete recommendations on pharmacologic correction of metabolism disorders typical to the pathology, that aggravate in the postoperative period due to operative trauma. Proposed draft recommendations are a part of National clinical recommendations “Treatment for pathologic fractures of skeleton bones complicating the course of osteoporosis”. This issue of recommendations is only applicable to pharmacotherapy directed to the correction of bone tissue remodeling with regard for the fracture localization and volume of surgical intervention. Present recommendations are intended for the improvement of patients’ life quality, reduction of present and future losses from pathologic fracture as well as the prevention of repeated fractures.
