The cold weather, the elderly alert back pain these two days, by the northern cold air, the southern weather also fell sharply, many elderly friends have put on thick cotton clothes to protect the cold, the activity is also much less, but the hospital orthopedic clinic is still visible than the usual increase in the number of elderly figures. This is not, the day before yesterday, Zhang Ma Ma waist pain is particularly obvious also came to the clinic, it turns out that 68 years old, she has been suffering from osteoporosis for many years, despite years of oral pain relief, calcium drugs, but still often have back pain, two days ago at home to clean up the room, bending down to pick up things, accidentally flashed waist, the original waist pain suddenly aggravated, at home to live in the external application of oil, the pain did not improve, went to the The director then introduced her to an advanced technology, “percutaneous vertebroplasty”, which can provide quick analgesia and stabilize the spine, and has been successfully carried out for several years with ideal treatment results. The patient readily accepted the treatment after Director Li explained in detail to Zhang and her family the causes of the disease, the principles of treatment and the risks and efficacy, and after careful preparation by Director Li, the interventional treatment was soon completed successfully for Zhang. Now there are several cases like Zhang’s every day,” said Director Li. It turns out that this low back pain originates from osteoporosis, because the weather turns cold, the elderly reduce the amount of activity, wearing too many shirts, bone loss too fast, a little inattention, will trigger a sudden severe pain, limited activities, etc., seriously affect the normal quality of life of the elderly, and even threaten the life of the elderly, increasing the burden of the family and society. Once a vertebral compression fracture occurs, the treatment must be decided by a professional spine surgeon. Traditional methods of dealing with the complications of such osteoporotic fractures include bed rest, oral pain medication, intramuscular injection of salmon calcitonin, physiotherapy and other conservative treatments, but the results are not ideal, especially Pain relief is poor and prolonged. Stable fractures can be treated conservatively, while unstable fractures require a surgical approach. Vertebroplasty and balloon-propped vertebroplasty are recent emerging minimally invasive treatment techniques. Vertebroplasty requires only a percutaneous puncture in the lumbar back to enter the vertebral body through the pedicle to inject bone cement for stable support. This technique has been carried out in recent years in large hospitals in China because of its small trauma, obvious effect and short hospital stay, and is particularly effective in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. According to statistics, it is more than 90%, for its mechanism of action is currently believed to have two main reasons: 1, osteoporotic vertebral body microfracture is fixed by the bone cement, through the combination of bone cement and vertebral body cancellous bone fixation, so that the injured vertebral body strength increased, but also increased the stability of the vertebral body, and to a certain extent to restore the height of the injured vertebra, so that the patient early bed activities, reduce the occurrence of complications. 2. The sensory nerve endings in the vertebral body are destroyed by the high temperature generated by the cement solidification. However, theoretically, the complications include: spinal nerve compression, venous embolism and fat embolism caused by bone cement leakage, but during the operation, the C-arm machine fluoroscopic monitoring and the application of balloon technology effectively avoid the occurrence of bone cement leakage and make this technology more safe and reliable. Therefore, patients must be treated in regular and large specialized hospitals in order to have a high safety factor and efficacy. With the continuous maturity and progress of vertebroplasty technology, it has become an important tool for clinical treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures in the elderly, bringing a gospel for reshaping the spine health of the elderly. Although there are now better solutions for the pain of osteoporotic vertebral fractures, the real cause is osteoporosis, and if osteoporosis is not solved and its complications are effectively prevented, the repeated occurrence of vertebral fractures will greatly undermine the patient’s self-confidence in life, so for the majority of elderly people, how to prevent and treat Therefore, for the majority of elderly people, it is especially important to prevent and treat osteoporosis. It is our responsibility and obligation to eliminate the misconceptions in society about osteoporosis: 1. Calcium supplementation alone is not enough, because the intestinal absorption of calcium in the elderly is also reduced, and the calcium supplemented is often not fully absorbed, so it must be combined with other anti-osteoporosis drugs. Then on the basis of anti-osteoporosis drug treatment, including waist protection, functional exercise, and good habits, and to prevent falls. Functional exercise methods are as follows: 1, reset period: pillow pad 1 to 2 weeks, encourage patients to practice active abdomen, 3 times a day, 5 to 10 min each time. 2, 5-point support method: supine, support the whole body with the head, both elbows, both heels 5 points, so that the back vacant back extension, about 1 week after the injury. 3, 3-point support method: supine, arms placed on the chest, supported by the head and feet, arch waist hip and back vacated from the bed, conducive to lumbar back muscle exercise, 2 to 3 weeks after the injury to carry out this exercise. 4, small swallow flying method: lying prone, the back of the neck stretched slightly after lifting the chest out of bed, the two upper limbs to the back, two knees straight, lifting the legs to the abdomen as a support point, shaped like a flying swallow point of water, 5 to 6 weeks after practice. Although the effect of this type of practice therapy is good, but the elderly patients are often not able to do, so do not force, you can choose another lighter, mild, not too difficult practice methods, such as dry land swimming, backward walking, etc.. In short, early activity can increase the strength of the low back muscles, not to produce or aggravate the phenomenon of osteoporosis, but also to avoid or reduce the sequelae of chronic low back pain.
