When it comes to the simultaneous existence of osteoporosis and osteomalacia in the usual work, patients often show incomprehension, (hyperplasia and osteoporosis are antonyms, and it is really difficult to understand the simultaneous existence of the same part of the body), but because of the problem of time can not give a detailed explanation. Today I want to tell you for sure that osteophytes and osteoporosis can occur at the same time in the same organism, the same bone, and the two are often accompanied by the elderly (presence). Because osteophytes and osteoporosis are both bone aging table F, osteophytes occur in the edge of the bone, the bone and ligament connection parts, the actual is the edge of the bone grows a piece of bone. Osteoporosis occurs on the inside of the bone, that is, the bone inside the bone less bone, hollow. Osteoporosis is the medical name for the disease, and osteoporosis is a medical term mostly found in the reports of imaging tests. Osteomalacia mostly occurs in the edge of the bone joints, vertebral body of the edge of the site, the birth of the site is mostly bones and ligaments and other soft tissues of the connection parts. The morphology is different, the bird’s beak-like is called bone spur, and the lip-like is called bone lump. Osteomalacia is a natural phenomenon of bone aging, and there is no need to worry too much about it. Most osteophytes do not cause discomfort and do not require any treatment. When bone growths cause pain and other symptoms, medication, physical therapy, traditional Chinese medicine and other symptomatic treatments can be given to eliminate the symptoms. Bone spurs do not disappear after the pain is eliminated. Bone growths generally do not require surgical treatment, only in special parts of the compression of nerves or blood vessels causing serious consequences, may consider surgical treatment, and this situation has a specific name, such as osteoarthritis, cervical spondylosis and so on. The practice of giving surgical removal of osteophytes when you see them is very wrong; the hyperplasia will still grow if you remove it, and it doesn’t make any sense. Don’t see osteophytes on the film and think that the pain is caused by osteophytes, there are many causes of pain, must be carefully examined to find the culprit, so that we can get effective treatment, without delay. Osteoporosis is the metabolic function of the elderly bone is reduced, bone production is reduced, bone destruction increased (normal human bone production and destruction to maintain a balance) within the unit volume of the bone is reduced, the bone is empty, not strong. Osteoporosis has no feeling in the early stage, and only when it is serious will there be symptoms such as back pain, height reduction, stooping and hunching, etc. The most serious problem is the susceptibility to fracture.
