The field of osteoporosis has advanced significantly over the past
several years . By definition osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal
disease characterized by low bone mass and micro architectural
deterioration of bone tissue,with a consequent increase in bone
fragility and susceptibility to fracture risk.Research into novel
therapies in osteoporosis is more active at present than at any
time in the past. The use of bisphosphonates and selective estrogen
receptor modulators have revolutionized the treatment.General
hygienic interventions, such as dietary or supplemental calcium and
adequate physical activity are recommended for virtually all
patients.A well planned program of treatment for osteoporosis
depends on correction of all underlying nutritional and physiologic
abnormalities there needs to have a strategic balance between bone
resorption and bone formation.Hormonal prevention of osteoporosis
with estrogen is a major advance in preventive medicine. A
multifactorial intervention to reduce the occurrence of falls and
consequently fractures is mandatory.Back pain could be usually the
first indicator of underlying osteoporosis.Newer strategies to find
treatment is discussed.
