==Overview==
The mainstays of treatment in primary [[osteoporosis]] [[disease]] are based on in life style modifications. Most of the time in high risk patients and people with past history of [[Osteoporosis|osteoporotic]] [[fracture]], [[Medical therapy template|medical therapy]] is necessary. [[Bisphosphonates]] are the '''''first line''''' treatment for [[osteoporosis]] [[disease]]. [[Raloxifene]] is the '''''second line''''' [[treatment]] of [[osteoporosis]] in [[postmenopausal]] women, for both [[treatment]] and [[prevention]]. [[Denosumab]] is a human [[monoclonal antibody]] designed to inhibit [[RANKL]] ([[RANK]] ligand), a [[protein]] that acts as the primary [[Signal (biology)|signal]] for [[bone]] removal. It is used to treat [[Osteoporosis]] in elder men and [[postmenopausal]] women. [[Teriparatide]] and Abaloparatide are human [[recombinant]] [[parathyroid hormone]]<nowiki/>s used to treat [[postmenopausal]] woman with [[osteoporosis]] at high risk of [[fracture]] or to increase [[bone]] mass in men with [[osteoporosis]].

* The primary most important goal for treatment of [[osteoporosis]] is to reduce longtime [[fracture]] risk in patients. Increasing [[Bone mineral density|bone mineral density (BMD)]] in response to the treatment is far less important than improvement of clinical aspects of [[osteoporosis]], i.e., [[Osteoporosis|osteoporotic]] [[Bone fracture|fracture]]. Therefore, most of the [[drugs]]' efficacy are measured by the extend they improve the [[fracture]] risk, in turn of increasing [[Bone mineral density|BMD]].<ref name="pmid11893367">{{cite journal |vauthors=Cummings SR, Karpf DB, Harris F, Genant HK, Ensrud K, LaCroix AZ, Black DM |title=Improvement in spine bone density and reduction in risk of vertebral fractures during treatment with antiresorptive drugs |journal=Am.

* There is no established [[medical]] or [[surgical]] therapy for juvenile [[osteoporosis]]. In some cases, no treatment may be needed because the condition usually goes away spontaneously. However, early diagnosis of juvenile [[osteoporosis]] is important so that steps can be taken to protect the child’s [[spine]] and other [[bones]] from [[fracture]] until remission occurs. These steps may include [[physical therapy]], using [[crutches]], avoiding unsafe weight-bearing activities, and other supportive care. A well-balanced diet rich in [[calcium]] and [[vitamin D]] is also important. In severe, long-lasting cases of juvenile [[osteoporosis]], some medications called [[bisphosphonates]], approved by the [[Food and Drug Administration]] for the treatment of [[osteoporosis]] in adults, have been given to children experimentally.<ref name="urlJuvenile Osteoporosis">{{cite web |url=https://www.niams.nih.gov/health_info/bone/Bone_Health/Juvenile/juvenile_osteoporosis.asp |title=Juvenile Osteoporosis |format= |work= |accessdate=}}</ref>

* Treatment options for children with low bone mass and fractures are more limited than in adults, underscoring the importance of accurate skeletal assessments. General measures to address skeletal risk factors are safe and appropriate first steps for all patients. All strategies to optimize bone health should be considered. Calcium intake should meet current recommended daily intake of 500 mg for children 1 to 3 years of age, 800 mg for children 4 to 8 years of age, and 1300 mg for children and adolescents 9 to 18 years of age. Routine screening of vitamin D levels is not indicated in healthy youth. However, the adequacy of total body vitamin D stores should be assessed in youth at risk of bone fragility by measuring by measuring serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Concentrations of at least 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L) have been recommended for healthy children, but some experts aim for a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration >30 ng/mL in populations at increased risk of fracture. Weight-bearing activity should be encouraged, and even short periods of high-intensity exercise (eg, jumping 10 minutes/ day, 3 times/week) have produced measurable gains in bone mass. The childhood and teenage years appear to be of particular importance for bone accretion. The Iowa Bone Development Study (a prospective cohort study) showed 10% to 16% greater hip BMC and 8% greater hip areal BMD in participants who accumulated the greatest amount of activity from childhood through adolescence (12-year follow-up).<ref name="JanzLetuchy2014">{{cite journal|last1=Janz|first1=Kathleen F.|last2=Letuchy|first2=Elena M.|last3=Francis|first3=Shelby L.|last4=Metcalf|first4=Kristen M.|last5=Burns|first5=Trudy L.|last6=Levy|first6=Steven M.|title=Objectively Measured Physical Activity Predicts Hip and Spine Bone Mineral Content in Children and Adolescents Ages 5–15 Years: Iowa Bone Development Study|journal=Frontiers in Endocrinology|volume=5|year=2014|issn=1664-2392|doi=10.3389/fendo.2014.00112}}</ref>

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Eiman Ghaffarpasand, M.D. [2]

Overview

The mainstay of treatment in primary osteoporosis is based on life style modifications. Most of the time in high risk patients and people with past history of osteoporotic fracture, medical therapy is necessary. Bisphosphonates are the first line treatment for osteoporosis. Raloxifene is the second line treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, for both treatment and prevention. Denosumab is a human monoclonal antibody designed to inhibit RANKL (RANK ligand), a protein that acts as the primary signal for bone removal. It is used to treat osteoporosis in older men and postmenopausal women. Teriparatide and Abaloparatide are human recombinant parathyroid hormones used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis in women with high risk of fracture or to increase bone mass in men with osteoporosis.

Medical therapy

Fracture prevention medical therapy algorithm[1]

 
 
 
Strategies to prevent fractures and falls

Recommend:
• Dietary calcium 1200 mg/day

Suggest:
Vitamin D (≥ 800–2000 IU/day)
Calcium supplement≤ 500 mg, if dietary calcium not met
Hip protectors
• Multifactorial fall-prevention strategies:
1. Exercise (balance, strength and functional training)
2. Medication reviews (e.g., Beers criteria)
3. Assessment of environmental hazards
4. Use of assistive devices
5. Management of urinary incontinence
 
 
 
 
 
Fracture risk assessment
on admission

• Prior hip fracture?
• Prior vertebral fracture?
• More than one prior fracture
(excluding hands, feet, ankles)?
• Recent use of glucocorticoid and prior
fracture (excluding hands, feet, ankles)?
• Assessed as high risk for fracture and
receiving fracture treatment before admission?
Vertebral fracture present?
(if chest radiography ordered,
screen for vertebral fractures)

1 Stage 1 - Osteoporosis

  • 1.1 Improving bone mineral density (BMD)
    • 1.1.2 Children and Adolescent
    • Doses are under studying and evaluation.
  • Treatment options for children with low bone mass and fractures are more limited than in adults, underscoring the importance of accurate skeletal assessments. General measures to address skeletal risk factors are safe and appropriate first steps for all patients. All strategies to optimize bone health should be considered. Calcium intake should meet current recommendations of :
    • 500 mg for children 1 to 3 years of age,
    • 800 mg for children 4 to 8 years of age,
    • 1300 mg for children and adolescents 9 to 18 years of age.
  • Routine screening of vitamin D levels is not indicated in healthy youth. However, the adequacy of total body vitamin D stores should be assessed in youth at risk of bone fragility by measuring serum concentrations of 25-hydroxy vitamin D. Concentrations of at least 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L) have been recommended for healthy children, but some experts aim for a serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D concentration >30 ng/mL in populations at increased risk of fracture.
  • Weight-bearing activity should be encouraged, and even short periods of high-intensity exercise (eg, jumping 10 minutes/ day, 3 times/week) have produced measurable gains in bone mass. The childhood and teenage years appear to be of particular importance for bone accretion. The Iowa Bone Development Study (a prospective cohort study) showed 10% to 16% greater hip BMC and 8% greater hip areal BMD in participants who accumulated the greatest amount of activity from childhood through adolescence (12-year follow-up).[11]
  • For patients with limited mobility, reducing immobility through physical therapy or the use of vibrating platforms can be helpful. Reducing inflammation, under-nutrition, or hormone imbalances is necessary. In children with inflammatory bowel disease, study showed that a reduction in inflammation through the use of anti–tumor necrosis factor α therapy led to appreciable differences in bone structure and density. If general measures fail to prevent further bone loss and fracture, pharmacologic therapy may be considered. None of the drugs used to treat bone fragility in the elderly have yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for pediatric use. Nevertheless, therapy with bisphosphonates is considered reasonable for children with moderate to severe osteogenesis imperfecta (2 or more fractures in a year or vertebral compression fractures). For secondary osteoporosis attributable to chronic disease, bisphosphonates may be used on a compassionate basis to treat low-trauma fractures of the spine or extremities. When pharmacologic therapy is considered, referral to a specialist with expertise in pediatric bone disorders is advised.[12][13]

2 Stage 2 - Glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis

  • 2.1 Improving bone mineral density (BMD)
    • 2.1.1 Adult
      • Preferred regimen (1): Alendronate 70 mg PO weekly 
      • Preferred regimen (2): Risedronate 35 mg PO weekly OR 150 mg PO monthly
      • Preferred regimen (3): Ibandronate 150 mg PO monthly OR 3 mg IV every 3 months
      • Preferred regimen (4): Zoledronic acid 5 mg IV annually
      • Alternative regimen (1): Raloxifene 60 mg PO daily
      • Alternative regimen (2): Denosumab 60 mg SC every 6 months
      • Alternative regimen (3): Romosozumab 210 mg SC monthly
      • Alternative regimen (4): Teriparatide 20 mcg SC daily, approved for less than 2 years use

Bisphosphonates

Bisphosphonates are the first line treatment for osteoporosis disease. They are not indicated in people with severe renal function impairment; thus, it is important to check renal function and serum creatinine before prescription. These drugs need to be taken orally with large amount of water and not laying down until two hours following consumption, due to high risk of esophagitis. Rare but serious side effects may include osteonecrosis of the jaw and atypical femoral fractures.
