Osteoporosis is a silent condition where bones become weak, brittle, and more prone to fractures—even with minor falls or simple movements. It is most commonly seen in postmenopausal women and older adults, but it can affect men and younger individuals too. As a leading orthopaedic specialist, Dr. Yogish Vijaya Kumar offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and managing osteoporosis, helping patients protect their bones and maintain an active, independent lifestyle.

What is Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis occurs when bone loss outpaces bone formation, leading to reduced bone density and structural deterioration. This makes bones fragile and susceptible to:

• Spine (vertebral) fractures

• Hip fractures

• Wrist and shoulder fractures

• Loss of height or stooped posture (kyphosis)

Often called a “silent disease,” osteoporosis may not show symptoms until a fracture occurs. That’s why early detection and prevention are critical.

Who is at Risk?

• Postmenopausal women

• Adults over 50

• Family history of osteoporosis

• Long-term use of steroids or certain medications

• Vitamin D and calcium deficiency

• Sedentary lifestyle, smoking, or alcohol abuse

• Certain medical conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disorders)

Diagnosis

Dr. Yogish uses modern diagnostic tools to assess bone strength:

• Bone Mineral Density (DEXA) scan

• X-rays for fracture evaluation

• Blood tests to rule out secondary causes of bone loss

• Risk assessment using tools like FRAX score

Treatment & Management

Dr. Yogish provides a customized treatment plan that may include:

• Calcium and Vitamin D supplementation

• Lifestyle and dietary modifications

• Weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises

• Anti-osteoporotic medications such as bisphosphonates, denosumab, or teriparatide

• Fall-prevention strategies at home and outdoors

• Fracture care, including minimally invasive vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty for spinal compression fractures

He also focuses on preventing secondary fractures, especially in elderly patients who have already sustained one.
