TRANSCRIPT
Management of men and women over 50yrs who have sustained a fragility fracture: 2011 draft guidance
Fragility fracture definition:Fracture site excluding fingers, toes, scaphoid and skull
Fracture force excluding major RTA or fall from more than 6 feet
All patients should be assessed for osteoporosis and to rule out secondary causes
Lowest T score > -2
General guidance, Smoking cessation, Alcohol moderation, Dietary calcium advice (~ 1g/day)
Lowest T score -2 to -2.5 Lowest T score < -2.5 / DXA inappropriate/Current steroids planned for 3+ months
Multiple fractures, vertebral fracture,
Or secondary cause
Aim Total 25OH-vitaminD >20ng/ml (>50nM) OR Rx Calcium/vitamin D 1g/1000iu.
INDICATIONS for Referral to bone clinic: 1.Pre-menopausal or men under the age of 60 years presenting with osteoporosis2.Fracture after one year of compliant therapy3.Inability to take or tolerate oral treatments4.Osteoporosis due to complex medical diseases including cancer therapies and kidney disease.5.Acute painful vertebral fractures
1Additional Investigations if indicated: • Coeliac screen if ever history of unexplained anaemia• Serum & urine electrophoretic strip if unexplained high ESR • 24 hour urinary calcium (esp if hypercalcaemia/ renal stones)• Serum testosterone, LH and SHBG, PSA <men>• 24 hour urinary cortisol
BLOOD/ URINE INVESTIGATIONS1: Bone function (Serum calcium, phosphate, ALP, Albumin,25OH vitamin D), Renal function, ALT/ AST, FBC, ESR, TSH
DXA Not essential If over 75 years and DXA clinically inappropriate
Repeat BMD in 2-5 years or sooner if further fracture
DURATION OF THERAPY:
Oral agents:Assess adherence @ 3mth then annuallyReview treatment after 5 yearsAt end of treatment cycle
Consider DXA/ bone markersConsider 3-5 years off treatmentIf on-going high risk consider continuing Rx for 10 years i.e. DXA still < -2.5, on steroids.
Zoledronate/ Dmab: 3 yrs then reassess
Bone markers if available: Serum PINP or Fasting serum CTXI
NO
Start Bone specific Therapy
+
Secondary causes:Inflammatory arthritis including RheumatoidInflammatory bowel diseaseChronic liver diseaseMalabsorptionHypogonadismMenopause < 45 yearsType I diabetes
YES
Alendronate for 5-10 yrs70mg once a week+ With Ca + Vit D
Compliance review at 3 months
Re-education and additional support
Risk assess need for treatment
Side effect: Dyspepsia Side effect: Swallowing issue
COMPLIANT – continue for 5 yrs andreview compliance annually
Benefit of treating outweighedby poor compliance / side effects
Prescriber: Ask about swallowing, dyspepsiaCheck GFR/eGFRdiscuss administration /compliancediscuss potential side effects
