Osteomalacia is essentially an “aging” phenomenon of the human skeleton, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. As people age, the muscles, ligaments and other tissues around the spine and joints will undergo degenerative changes, which will disrupt the balance of the spine and joints and cause instability of the spine and joints. In order to adapt to these changes and restore the new state of balance, the body will increase the surface area of the bones through osteophytes, reducing the pressure per unit area of the bones and making the spine or joints more stable. It can be said that the phenomenon of osteophytes is a self-protection mechanism of the organism, an instinct of the organism. It is only when osteophytes cause pain, swelling, limb dysfunction and other symptoms that make people feel “uncomfortable” that people regard osteophytes as a disease. Osteogenesis imperfecta precautions: 1, in the acute phase of pain aggravation, to minimize the amount of activity of the affected joints, the patient may be appropriate bed rest, through rest to reduce the mechanical stimulation of the affected joints, which not only prevents further exacerbation of the symptoms, but also for the dissipation of the inflammation to create a good condition. 2, the condition in the recovery period, to avoid moisture, cold and other environmental factors stimulation. Because these adverse environmental factors on the joints, muscles, nerves and other tissues can induce inflammation, but also to avoid overwork, because overwork will stimulate the joints and the surrounding tissues again inflammation, which will lead to the recurrence of the disease. In addition, you can increase outdoor activities, exercise, and try to avoid long-term bed rest. If patients work in a fixed position for a long time, they should pay attention to change the position during breaks. 3, the prevalence of osteomalacia increases with age, in order to ensure the normal needs of the elderly bone metabolism, the elderly calcium intake should be increased compared with the average adult, should eat high calcium foods, such as more milk, eggs, soy products, vegetables and fruits, necessary into the calcium supplements. 4.Elderly people should control their diet, maintain proper weight and avoid obesity. Clinical findings of obese patients in general osteophytes occur in the knee joint, than similar conditions and weight standards of the treatment time to be long, slow recovery. The reason is very simple, that is, obese patients own body weight aggravates the burden of the knee joint, joint wear and tear and injury will be greater. Eating a balanced diet and maintaining your weight is an important part of preventing osteoporosis.
