This study has been led by Dr. Carmen G\u00f3mez Vaquero, principal investigator of the research group on synovial inflammation and bone metabolism at IDIBELL and doctor at the Bellvitge University Hospital, and has counted on the collaboration of Dr. N\u00faria Vilarrasa, researcher in endocrinology and nutrition at IDIBELL and Bellvitge Hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The results show that certain surgical techniques, especially those that significantly reduce nutrient absorption, have a considerable impact on bone mass loss, being greater in the hip compared to the lumbar spine.<\/p>\n<p>As a novelty, the bone microarchitecture of the hip has been analyzed for the first time using 3D-DXA technology, observing that bone mass loss occurs mainly in the trabecular compartment of the hip. This implies that some patients, especially those undergoing hypoabsorptive techniques, require close monitoring and supplementation with higher doses of calcium and vitamin D than usual and on an ongoing basis to protect their bone health.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. G\u00f3mez Vaquero, who presented these results at the VI Osteoporosis Course of the Spanish Society of Rheumatology in Madrid, explained that \u201cnot all surgeries have the same effect; restrictive techniques, such as vertical gastrectomy, do not increase the risk of fracture. It would be advisable to consider the risk of fracture prior to surgery among the factors that determine the decision to perform one surgical technique or another.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ultimate goal of this research is to improve the medical follow-up of patients after surgery, especially in those undergoing more hypoabsorptive techniques, in order to reduce the risk of fracture and maintain good bone health in the long term.<\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>The Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) is a biomedical research center created in 2004.
