Application of the "three-in-one" bone repair strategy in the treatment of osteoporotic fractures / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Osteoporotic fractures secondary to osteoporosis increase very rapidly in incidence, and have become a major cause of disability and mortality in the elderly population. Currently, there have no standard guidelines for perioperative management, surgery and postoperative rehabilitation, causing multiple complications and poor therapeutic outcome. The authors previously proposed bone repair strategies including active anti-osteoporosis, adequate bone grafting and bone healing acceleration, namely "three-in-one" bone repair strategy. The care steps in osteoporotic fracture surgery inluded perioperative management, operative precaution, and postoperative prevention of secondary fractures. With this in mind, the authors further discussed the detailed application of "three-in-one" bone repair strategy including perioperative active anti-osteoporosis treatment, early rehabilitation training, standardized internal fixation selection, standard bone grafting methods and prevention of secondary complications, so as to promote the standardized treatment of osteoporotic fractures and improve the prognosis.
