Association between alendronate, serum alkaline phosphatase level, and heterotopic ossification in individuals with spinal cord injury

Abstract: Context/objective: Only sparse evidence exists regarding the effectiveness of oral alendronate (ALN) in the prevention of heterotopic ossification (HO) in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). The objective of this study is to investigate the protective effect of oral ALN intake on the appearance of HO in patients with SCI. Study design: Retrospective database review. Setting: A Spinal Cord Unit at a Rehabilitation Hospital. Participants: Two hundred and ninety-nine patients with SCI during acute inpatient r… Show more

“…[36][37][38][39][40] TNAP is the most abundant isoenzyme in the blood and is primarily derived from the bone, kidneys, and liver, but is also found in neuronal tissue. 41 Higher levels of AP have been associated with the presence of heterotopic ossification (HO) following SCI, 42 although other, smaller studies have found no association. 43,44 HO occurs in *20% of SCI patients, 45 and its presence may impact on both rehabilitation and outcome measures for the patient.…”

“…Загалом клінічна картина нагадує клініку тромбозу вен нижніх кінцівок, що призводить до частих діагностичних помилок, особливо за умови неможливості проведення ультразвукової діагностики судин і відсутності інформованості лікарів про інші можливі причини виникнення вказаної симптоматики. Терміни виникнення ГО -3-12 тижнів після ТХСМтакож не сприяють вчасній діагностиці захворювання, тому що в цей період пацієнт переважно знаходиться вдома, лікування в нейрохірургічному відділенні вже завершене й ще не розпочаті реабілітаційні заходи [2,4,5,9,10].…”
