Dr. Lin Yunfei
Patients with osteoporosis and tibiofibular fractures should consume more protein, vitamin D, and calcium. Secondly, attention should be paid to medication; calcium and vitamin D supplementation should be provided when necessary. For patients with severe osteoporosis, bisphosphonates or calcitonin may be considered. Rehabilitation training should also be strengthened. Whether it is a limb fracture or a spinal fracture, appropriate rehabilitation exercises should be conducted under the guidance of a rehabilitation physician.
