Bones whisper before they break.

DEXA-density scanning, vitamin-D care and fracture-risk prevention — run jointly by endocrinology and orthopaedics, so bones get both views. Measurable, treatable, and best of all: preventable.

The fracture is never the first sign.

Osteoporosis is silent by design — bone thins quietly for years, and the first "symptom" is often a wrist after a stumble, a hip after a missed step. By then, the whisper has already become a shout. The entire point of this service is to hear it earlier.

The clinic is built for exactly that: a DEXA scan on site the same day, FRAX scoring that puts your personal fracture risk in numbers, vitamin-D treatment including an infusion clinic for severe deficiency, and fall-prevention advice that keeps elders upright. And every Friday, endocrinology and orthopaedics read the scans at the same table.

Who Should Be Scanned

Six reasons to book the quiet scan

A DEXA takes minutes, costs less than most people fear, and answers a question every one of these situations is already asking.

A fracture after a minor fall

A wrist or hip from a standing-height stumble — the defining signal; the next one is preventable.

Post-menopause

Estrogen was the bone's bodyguard; when it retires, the quiet loss accelerates. Worth measuring.

Height loss or a new stoop

Two centimetres gone, or a hunched upper back — possible spine compression fractures, silently stacked.

Steroids for 3+ months

Long-term corticosteroids tax bone — the scan baseline should start early, not after the first break.

A parent's hip fracture

Family history is one of the strongest cards in the FRAX deck — heredity loads these dice.

Thyroid or hormone conditions

An over- or under-active thyroid, early menopause, PCOS — hormone chapters the bones keep receipts for.

A fracture from a standing-height fall — treat it as the alarm it is: get scanned, prevent the next
Sudden back pain + height loss — likely a compression fracture; pain relief plus bone treatment, together
On long-term steroids, never scanned — don't wait for the first fracture to open the file
An elder's first fall — even unhurt, it's the trigger for balance, vision, vitamin-D and DEXA review

DEXA & T-Scores, Decoded

One number, finally in plain words

The DEXA compares your bone density against a young-adult baseline — the T-score — and every scan comes back explained, not just printed.

  • Above −1 — bone density in the healthy range; maintain, re-check on schedule
  • −1 to −2.5 — low bone mass (osteopenia): the window where prevention shines
  • Below −2.5 — osteoporosis: treatable at any age, and treatment works
  • FRAX scoring — your T-score combined with age, history and habits into a personal fracture-risk number both departments read
The Treatment Ladder

From sunlight to bone-building medicine

Each rung only when it's genuinely needed — and reviewed, never left on autopilot.

Vitamin-D first

Deficiency is extremely common — measured, treated, and for severe cases, the infusion clinic settles it fast.

Calcium & diet counselling

The right amounts from food first, supplements where needed — calcium & diet counselling included.

Bone-building medicines

When FRAX says the risk is real — modern options explained honestly, with review dates, not lifetime defaults.

The thyroid & hormone check

Bones obey hormones — over-treated or under-treated thyroid quietly thins them; the dose gets tuned here.

Fall-proofing the home

Rugs, lighting, bathroom rails, the midnight path — the fracture you never have is the best treatment there is.

The implant connection

Planning joint surgery? Bone strength is assessed first — an implant is only as good as the bone holding it.

Where Departments Meet

Fridays, both teams, one plan

Every Friday the Osteoporosis Clinic runs jointly — the endocrinologist who reads the metabolism, the orthopaedic surgeon who repairs the fractures, one room, one plan for your bones.

How combined clinics work
  • DEXA scans read by both teams — density and fracture mechanics in the same sentence
  • Dr. Sharma & Dr. Khanna's teams together — hormone causes and surgical prevention, coordinated
  • FRAX-based decisions — whether the answer is vitamin-D, medicine, or fall-proofing first
  • Elders get the full review — balance, vision, home hazards and the scan, in one visit

For elders, especially

Fall-prevention advice for elders is a standing part of this clinic — because at seventy, the best fracture treatment is the bathroom rail that was never needed.

Common Questions

Asked at fifty, sixty, seventy

The five questions the bone clinic hears most — from the calcium-curious to the recently-fractured.

All 27 FAQs

Often not — because deficiency of vitamin D is the more common bottleneck: without it, calcium doesn't absorb. The honest sequence is measure first, then treat what's actually low, in the right amounts. Guessing is how years pass while bone quietly thins.

Ageing starts it, but "normal for age" still isn't "untreatable." Bone-building medicines measurably cut fracture risk — including at eighty. The hip fracture this care prevents isn't a statistic; it's a year of someone's independence.

An X-ray shows a bone's shape and breaks that have already happened. A DEXA measures density — how much bone is left before anything breaks — using a tiny fraction of the radiation. The X-ray is the autopsy; the DEXA is the forecast.

Typically every one to two years once treatment or significant low density is on the table — fast enough to see a trend, slow enough for bone to actually change. Your doctor sets the interval against your T-score and treatment, not a fixed factory setting.

Not automatically — and that's exactly what the reviews are for. Modern treatment plans include drug holidays and reassessment; medicines run as long as the risk genuinely justifies them, then get revisited. Written plan, review dates, no autopilot.
