vertebrae is a common complication of osteoporosis, occurring when the bone or vertebrae body is collapsed and caused intense pain, variation Form, loss of height of the vertebrae. The common positions of the disease are: collapse neck vertebrae, spine collapse ...
Diseases seriously affect human mobilization.
The incidence of the disease is more than the elderly.
Causes of Spine's disease
There are many Causes of vertebra collapse such as spinal injuries, osteoporosis, vertebra tumors, bone marrow tumors ... but in which osteoporosis is the leading cause lead to spinal collapse.
More specifically, for those who have osteoporosis, the following causes will lead to vertebrae:
Daily activities such as strong sneezing, lifting objects ... also causing vertebra when suffering from severe osteoporosis.
Falling trauma, trying to lift a heavy object is the cause of spine collapse in patients with average osteoporosis.
For ordinary people and no osteoporosis, serious accidents such as traffic accidents, sports injuries, high falls will cause spine collapse. P>
Causes of vertebrae caused by metastatic cancer: Common in people under 55 years old, without injury or minor injury, at this time cancer cells metastasize to the bone. The spine destroys this place, leading to weak bones and then spine.
Symptoms of Spine's disease
The typical signs of vertebrae are all related to the patient's mobility such as:
Sudden back pain, increasing pain when standing and walking, pain decreases when the patient lies down.
The ability to move the spine is reduced.
The height is reduced by the spine.
Deformation, disability: Hump, scoliosis.
People at risk for Spine's disease
The risks that are prone to vertebrae are:
Menopausal women will have faster progression of osteoporosis, so it is easy to collapse.
People with secondary osteoporosis accompanied by poor physical development from childhood: rickets, malnutrition are also susceptible to spine.
People with a family history of osteoporosis are also more likely to get the disease.
People who play less sports, sedentary outdoors.
Users of alcohol, coffee, tobacco.
People with diseases: Men's and women's gonads such as early ovarian failure, premature menopause, ovarian cut Thyroid hyperthyroidism, parathyroid gland, chronic kidney failure or long -term dialysis ..., chronic osteoarthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are also likely to be at risk of osteoporosis leading to collapse vertebra.
Prevention of Spine's disease
To prevent and detect the spine in time, we need to pay attention to the following characteristics:
For the elderly, especially menopausal women need to have a moderation of nutrition and exercise. Should supplement minerals and vitamins along with eating nutrients.
Limiting the wrong posture when performing movements, avoiding bad postures.
Avoid working too hard.
Participate in exercises to help the body healthier and more supple.
Should go to a regular health check to detect the spine in time.
Diagnostic measures for Spine's disease
In addition to clinical manifestations, it is necessary to do extra subclinical techniques to strengthen diagnosis, prognosis and appropriate treatment for patients:
X -rays: Give images of joints, bones and discs.
Computerized tomography: shows the image of the spinal tube, the internal structures and surrounding it. This technique is often combined with contrast spinal cord scan, helping to know the details of the bone and the phenomenon of spinal stenosis.
Magnetic resonance imaging shows spinal cord, nerve roots and hypertrophy, degeneration or tumors.
Dual X -ray absorption or bone -bold measurement: Determine the mineral density of the bone to clearly determine the condition of osteoporosis in the patient. This is a survey technique that both spine and limbs, spine scanning, hip area, and body with a time of less than four minutes.
Spine's disease treatments
Methods Vive -burning treatment are popular today:
Treatment of spinal collapse without surgery:
Patients with limited activities.
OTC analgesic, addictive analgesics, nonsteroidal anti -inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants are used for patients.
The splint is used to support the patient and limit the movement of the vertebrae. shaped vertebrae
The method is done in one to two hours and depends on the number of vertebrae.
Small needle contains acryl bone cement with its own formula (biological cement) is injected into a collapse. After that, the cement will harden and stabilize the vertebrae.
This is a method of pain relief for patients.
shaping the hunchback area, including the following operations:
Slashing two small marks, placing the probe into the broken vertebra compartment.
bone drilling and inserted into both sides of the two bubbles are called bone buffer.
Two bubbles are pumped with contrast until the desired height and remove it.
The space created by the above bubble will be filled with cement,
This is a method to help restore the height for the patient to collapse.
Indications for these two invasive methods include: broken vertebrae caused by osteoporosis over two weeks with pain, severe deformation, not responding to conservation treatment, metastatic cancer Causing pain, multiple bone marrow tumors, hemangioma causing pain, spinal bone necrosis, strengthening the vertebra of the disease due to the disease before surgery.
Contraindications of the above two methods: completely broken vertebra and meet conservation treatment, broken vertebra for more than a year, collapse over 80%- 90% The spine body, curved spine is not caused by osteoporosis, stenosis of the spinal tube and disc herniation that is not related to broken vertebra, untreated coagulation disorders, osteomyelitis, disc inflammation, compression The spinal tube is caused by tumors and broken bones.
