This chapter, found in the bone, joint, and extremity pain section of the book, provides a succinct synopsis of a key study examining the need for repeat bone densitometry screening and prediction of fractures from osteoporosis. This summary outlines the study methodology and design, major results, limitations and criticisms, related studies and additional information, and clinical implications. The study showed that a repeat bone mineral density test within 4 years adds little additional value beyond the baseline test when assessing hip fracture risk. Moreover, a repeat test within 4 years may not improve fracture risk stratification used for clinical management of osteoporosis. In addition to outlining the most salient features of the study, a clinical vignette and imaging example are included in order to provide relevant clinical context.

According to Ayurveda, diseases occur due to Dhatuvaishamyta & Dhatusamya maintains regularity. The Ashti Dhathu is the one consecrated with the role of Shareera Dharana among the Saptha Dhathus. As-thikshaya is the condition in which there is Kshaya of Asthi Dhatu. Asthi Kshaya may be compared to Os-teoporosis, in which there is a decrease in bone mass leading to bone brittleness and fractures. Asthi Kshaya is one of Dhatu Kshaya. Due to Dhatu Kshaya there will be Vata Prakopa hence in the treatment decreased Vata Dosha along with nourishing Asthi Dhatu essential. Basti is considered as the best Treat-ment for the Vata Dosha and Asthi Ashrita Vyadhi and is known as Ardhachikitsa in Ayurveda. Ksheera Basti nourished the Asthi Dhatu and pacified there its Asharya Vata Dosha. Aim & Objective- To assess the efficacy of Panchtikta Ksheera Basti and Asthi Sandhaniya Dravya Siddh Ksheera Basti in the man-agement of Osteoporosis. Material and Methods- Present study was undertaken on 30 patients of Osteo-porosis. Patients diagnosed Osteoporotic by Bone Mineral Density test, were randomly divided into two Groups, A and B consisting of 10 patients each. Conclusion- The study shows that the Panchtikta Ksheera Basti and Asthi Sandhaniya Dravya Siddh Ksheera Basti are very effective in the management of Osteopo-rosis.
