Bone Vacuum Site

A bone loss site is a limited area of ​​bone in which individual bone trabeculae undergo resorption or degradation. This process can be caused by various factors, including injury, infection, tumors, and age-related changes.

Vacuum lesions can be found in various areas of the body, including the femur, tibia, radius, humerus, and others. They can vary in appearance, from small to large, and can be detected on x-rays.

Treatment for bone loss depends on the cause of its occurrence and its severity. In some cases, surgery may be required to remove part of the bone or replace it with a prosthetic. In other cases, conservative treatment methods such as physiotherapy, massage, drug therapy and others may be used.

It is important to remember that bone loss may be a sign of a more serious disease, so if you notice this symptom, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

The focus of bone loss (lat. osteoclastus psephis) is a special case of bone resorption, characterized by a limited area of ​​changes in the bone. The formation of a rarefaction focus can be detected in various diseases or after traumatic lesions of the integrity of the bones of both the femur and the bones of the skull, pelvis, ribs, sacrum and spine.
