Osteoporosis
In 1994 the late Prof. Pierre Delmas became the first President
of the
International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) which marked a
breakthrough
and a landmark in both early diagnosis of osteoporosis & an
influx of new
therapeutic agents for treating such a disease.
An estimated 9 million new Osteoporosis related fractures
occurred
worldwide in the year 2000 & it is expected that these
figures will increase
tremendously by the year 2050.The whole idea of treating
Osteoporosis is to
prevent the first fracture from happening as fractures are a
major cause of
Mortality & morbidity especially among old aged people.
Osteoarthritis
is one of the most prevalent and disabling chronic conditions
affecting older
adults and a significant public health problem among adults of
working age.
Worldwide, osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis.
The
prevalence increases with age. The functional impairments
secondary to
osteoarthritis also occur more frequently in older adults. Pain
and limitation
of motion restrict the independence of older adults by impairing
their
performance of activities of daily living.
Orthogeriatrics care
Defined as specialist medical care of older patients with
orthopedic disorders
that is provided collaboratively by Orthopedic and geriatric
services. This
model has been shown to decrease length of stay, medical
complications in
hospital and mortality. Randomly controlled trials have shown
that this
model of care led to almost 50% decrease of major complications
as
delirium, pneumonia, DVT, pulmonary embolism, pressure
ulcers,
arrhythmias or myocardial infarction.
