Dr. John Dimar and Dr. Benjamin Elder from the National Spine Health Foundation discuss the importance of bone health in spinal surgery, especially for osteoporosis patients.
They emphasize pre-surgical evaluations like DEXA scans and Hounsfield Unit CTs, advanced treatments such as anabolic agents, and the role of multidisciplinary care, patient education, and post-surgical monitoring in improving outcomes.
