Osteoporotik Vertebra Kırıkları

Abstract

Bu yazıda 'Osteoporotik Vertebral Kırıkların Retrospektif Analizi' makalesine bir fiziyatrist bakış açısıyla katkıda bulunmak istiyorum. Öncelikle bu değerli yazısı için Akar'a şükranlarımı sunmak isterim. Bu çalışmada Akar, yaşam beklentisi arttıkça osteoporoz ve osteoporotik vertebra kırıklarının daha büyük bir halk sağlığı sorunu haline geldiğini, osteoporozun erken tanı ve tedavisinin kırıkları önleme açısından önemli olduğunu vurgulamıştır. Bilindiği gibi osteoporoz önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Osteoporotik vertebra kırıkları, osteoporozlu hastalarda en sık görülen kırık tipidir ve her yıl yaklaşık 750.000 yeni vaka ortaya çıkar. Osteoporotik vertebra kırıkları olan hastaların yalnızca üçte birinde akut ağrı görülür. Bu nedenle erken dönemde tanınması kolay olmayabilir. Ayrıca osteoporotik vertebra kırıkları hem vertebral hem de vertebra dışı yeni kırıkların habercisi olabilir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında osteoporotik vertebra kırıkları hasta ve toplum sağlığı açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır.

Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures

Abstract

In this article, I would like to contribute to the article 'Retrospective Analysis of Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures' from the perspective of a physiatrist. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Akar for this valuable article. In this study, Akar emphasized that osteoporosis and osteoporotic vertebral fractures are becoming a larger public health problem as life expectancy increases, and that early diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis is important for prevention. As it is known, osteoporosis is an important public health problem. Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are the most common type of fracture in patients with osteoporosis, with approximately 750.000 new cases occurring each year. Only one-third of patients with osteoporotic vertebrate fractures experience acute pain. Therefore, it may not be easy to recognize in the early period. In addition, osteoporotic vertrebal fractures may be a sign of new fractures, both vertebral and non-vertebral. From this perspective, osteoporotic vertebral fractures are of great importance for patient and public health.
