Most patients discover they have osteoporosis after their first fracture. By the time the problem is more severe… it's too late.
As an orthopedic surgeon, I see daily how a silent disease can compromise something as basic as the ability to walk, move, or simply live without pain. That's why, in my recent interview on the program “Bajo Par” With @Guillermo Salmerón, I wanted to focus on the essentials: prevention is better than cure.
In the conversation we addressed, from a clinical and practical perspective:
- How osteoporosis develops and why it's not just "an age thing".
- The key role of prevention: regular exercise, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, and a proper diet rich in calcium and vitamin D.
- The importance of early diagnosis through bone densitometry and the identification of at-risk patients before the first fracture.
The comprehensive approach we apply at @Clínica Elgeadi, combining traumatology, internal medicine and personalized programs for long-term bone health care.
If you work in healthcare, manage healthcare teams, or are simply concerned about quality of life in later life, I invite you to listen to the full interview at the link in this post. I believe it can provide a clear and rigorous perspective on how to address osteoporosis through prevention, early diagnosis, and structured treatment.
