This comprehensive manual covers all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis and management of osteoporosis, offering an upbeat and optimistic assessment of what can be achieved. While scientifically based, the book provides easy-to-follow guidelines for lifelong maintenance of skeletal structure and function. It deals with everything from the basic physiology of bone and mineral metabolism to the diagnostic utility of radiologic imaging and specialized tests and current treatment recommendations, including for fracture management. The relationship of osteoporosis to a variety of other disorders is also thoroughly explored and elucidated.
Osteoporosis represents a global threat because every human being is vulnerable to it as time passes. The authors point out the enormous scale of the problem in terms of the human suffering, morbidity, and mortality on the one hand and the associated astronomical national and global costs on the other. Osteoporosis is preventable, and every doctor in every medical discipline can contribute to this goal. And though prevention is better than cure, it is never too late for effective therapy, as outlined in this book.Professor Dr. Reiner Bartl is a renowned expert in osteoporosis. He is Director Emeritus of the Osteoporosis Department of the University Clinic Munich and now head of the Osteoporosis Center Munich. Professor Bartl regularly appears in TV round-table discussions on the topic.
Christoph Bartl, MD, worked for many years as an Associate Professor at the University of Ulm in the Department of Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery, where his main focus was on the treatment of osteoporotic fractures and fracture prevention. He authored many clinical studies on outcome following osteoporotic fractures and other bone and joint disorders. Dr. Christoph Bartl has now joined the Interdisciplinary Osteoporosis and Bone Center in Munich.
