Introduction: Fragility fractures are number growing. They reduced quality life and increased mortality. After 50 years, one woman and two men will have an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime. The presence of a vertebral fracture (VF) multiplied the risk of new vertebral fracture and the risk of hip fracture. They are pauci or asymptomatic.Study purpose: Evaluate the prevalence of fragility vertebral fractures after 50 years, the number of asymptomat...

Doctors justified the importance of patient education.Study purpose: Evaluate o...

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue leading to an increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. Bone is subject to the influence of exogenous and endogenous hormonal factors capable of modulating the activity of bone cells and mineralization, and also the mechanical stresses. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most common primitive osteoporosis. Its diagnosis ...

Introduction: Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease embrittling. Prevention and treatment strategies are well defined and are always updated. The therapeutic decision is based on the individual risk of fracture, effectiveness and therapeutic tolerance. However, side effects attributed to treatment may exist. Thus, the benefit and risks of prescription drugs is optimized by the choice of the right time and the right treatment.The objective of the s...

Introduction: Osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare constitutional bone disease. The bone matrix is poor because of the often mutation on the gene coding for collagen I, leading to many fractures. Classification Sillence completed by Glorieux, describes the clinical variability. The management should be done case by case.Study objective: Evaluate the clinical profile, biological and radiological of 5 newly diagnosed cases.Material and ...
