Abstract

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis occurs in paralyzed extremities secondary to immobilization following spinal cord injury (SCI). Bone mineral density (BMD) is rapidly lost after SCI. Loss of BMD may reach fracture threshold although it slows with time. This study was planned to investigate the option of impediment of osteoporosis by early axial loading in immobilized patients. METHODS: Fifteen patients with complete paraplegia having spinal cord lesion between T4-L1 and 15 normal volunteers were included into the study. Time, mechanism and type of injury, BMD, serum calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase levels were undertaken as variables. BMD was measured by dual energy X-ray absorbtiometry (DEXA) in the femoral neck, trochanteric region and T1 and L3 spine. RESULTS: The BMD values were lower in the femoral neck and trochanteric region, but there were no significant differences at T1 and L3 spine in paraplegics. CONCLUSION: BMD decreases in the femoral neck and trochanteric region, secondary to immobilization. Absence of significant differences of BMD values at T1 and L3 spine in the study and control groups might be due to early rehabilitation. Sitting exercises early after stabilization might impede of the loss of BMD by axial loading to the spine. Thus, complications such as osteoporosis and pathological fractures can be prevented.

Özet

AMAÇ: Omurilik yaralanmalı olgularda paralitik bölgelerde hareketsizlik nedeniyle osteoporoz meydana gelir. Yaralanma sonrası kemik mineral yoğunluğunda (KMY) hızlı bir kayıp gözlenir. KMY kaybı kırılma eşiğine ulaşabilir. Bu çalışma, hareket kabiliyetini yitirmiş olgularda erken aksiyel yüklenme ile osteopororozun engellenebileceği düşüncesini araştırmak amacı ile planlandı. GEREÇ-YÖNTEM: Travma düzeyleri T4-L1 arasında değişen 15 komplet paraplejik olgu ile kontrol grubu olarak 15 normal olgu incelendi. Olgularda KMY dışında, yaralanma zamanı, şekli, mekanizması ile serum kalsiyum, fosfor ve alkali fosfataz değişken olarak alındı. KMY ölçümü; femur boynu, trokanter, T1 ve L3 omurlarından “Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry” (DEXA) cihazı kullanılarak yapıldı. BULGULAR: Kemik mineral yoğunluğunun paraplejik olgularda femur boynu ve trokanterde azaldığı, buna karşılık T1 ve L3 omurlarında anlamlı bir değişiklik olmadığı görüldü. SONUÇ: Femur boynu ve trokanterde hareketsizliğe bağlı olarak KMY azalmaktadır. Çalışma ve kontrol grupları arasında, T1 ve L3 omurlarında KMY’da anlamlı bir değişiklik olmaması olguların erken rehabilitasyonundan kaynaklanabilir. Stabilizasyon sonrası başlanan oturma egzersizleri omurlarda aksiyel yüklenme ile KMY’nun azalmasını engelleyebilir; böylece osteoporoz ve patolojik kırık komplikasyonu önlenebilir.
