PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Fractures in the Elderly • Osteoporosis • Remodeling does not occur in trabecular bone, therefore metaphysis is prone to fracture • Pathologic Fractures • Decreased muscle mass • Postural changes • Decreased vibration sense and proprioception • Increased reaction time • Visuoperceptual decline • Impaired mobility
PRIMARY PREVENTION SECONDARY PREVENTION Fractures in the Elderly • History and Physical Examination • FRAX and DEXA • Dietary modification and exercise regimen • Review of medications that may cause dizziness, syncope, etc • Regular eye exams • Safer home: • Slip guards and hand rails • Removing objects on floor • Storing items in easy to reach cabinets • Improve lighting in the home • Goal rapid return to activities for independent living • Diagnosis • History and PE • X-ray • CT scan • Treatment • Immobilization • Surgical stabilization • Joint replacement National Center for Injury Prevention and Control CDC Injury Center
TERTIARY PREVENTION Fractures in the Elderly • Stiffness – daily active or passive ROM exercises of adjacent joints • Contractures – periodic changes in position • Swelling – elevation of limb • Pressure sores – daily inspection and padding of contact points • Functional impairment – gradual re-introduction of ADLs Merck Manual of Geriatrics. Fractures
Senile Cataract a vision-impairing disease characterized by gradual, progressive thickening of the lens It is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world today Age is an important risk factor for senile cataract.
Work-up Clinicals • Laboratory Studies- screening process to detect coexisting diseases (eg, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiac anomalies) • Imaging Studies- ocular imaging studies (eg, ultrasound, CT scan, MRI) History- decrease visual acuity, increase glare, mild to moderate myopia, monocular diplopia P.E.- slit lamp examination
Treatment • The definitive management for senile cataract is lens extraction. • No drug is available that has been proven to prevent the progression of senile cataracts. Medical therapy is used preoperatively and postoperatively to ensure a successful operation and subsequent visual rehabilitation.
Dextroscoliosis Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved from side to side or front to back, and may also be rotated Dextroscoliosis is a scoliosis with the convexity on the right side
Symptoms • Pain • Uneven musculature on one side of the spine • A rib "hump" and/or a prominent shoulder blade, caused by rotation of the ribcage in thoracicscoliosis • Uneven hip and shoulder levels • Asymmetric size or location of breast in females • Unequal distance between arms and body • Clothes that do not "hang right", i.e. with uneven hemlines • Slow nerve action (in some cases)
Investigation Standard method for assessing the curvature quantitatively is measurement of the Cobb angle, which is the angle between two lines, drawn perpendicular to the upper endplate of the uppermost vertebrae involved and the lower endplate of the lowest vertebrae involved
Management The conventional options are, in order: 1. Observation 2. Bracing - for example the Milwaukee brace 3. Surgery
