The effect of calcium supplementation for osteoporosis caused by fracture needs to be determined according to the patient’s age and the type and severity of the patient’s fracture. Generally speaking, young people will gradually recover in about half a year with calcium supplementation based on exercise, while older people will take longer to recover. Fractures are categorized into mild fractures and severe fractures.
1. Patient’s age: osteoporosis after fracture is mainly caused by fracture fixation. Usually, young people will shorten the recovery period and recover gradually in about half a year if they take calcium supplements together with exercise.
2. Mild fracture: It does not affect the patient’s activities on the ground, and is caused by the fixation of the fracture, which usually occurs in the bone stem of the fixed position. Usually it can be recovered in two to three months.
3. Serious fracture: Serious fracture affects the activities on the ground and may cause generalized osteoporosis, also known as wasting osteoporosis. Usually, it takes about one year to recover from the fracture combined with exercise on the ground and calcium supplementation.
Patients with osteoporosis caused by bone fracture should pay attention to appropriate exercise, eat more food containing calcium and vitamin D, maintain hygiene of the injured area, and avoid spicy and stimulating food to avoid aggravation of symptoms. If you feel unwell, you should consult a doctor in time.
