Article Synopsis
- Pregnancy- and lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO) is a rare condition impacting women postpartum, exemplified by a case of a 29-year-old with severe back pain due to vertebral fractures.
- Diagnosis involves ruling out other causes of osteoporosis, with treatment typically including calcium and vitamin D supplements alongside lactation suppression; however, pain may persist even after treatment.
- The condition remains poorly understood, with potential causes including genetic factors and calcium metabolism changes, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies for better patient outcomes.
Purpose: To scope the scientific literature and analyze the influence of bony risk factors for degenerative full-thickness primary rotator cuff tear.
Methods: A systematic review of databases PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library was performed up to June 30, 2018. Meta-analysis was performed with mean difference (MD) or risk ratio for degenerative full-thickness rotator cuff injury, and when there were ≥3 studies for the considered potential risk factor.
