[Osteoporosis in phlebology]

Patient often think that the pains of their extremities (especially during the night) are caused by a plebo or an angiopathy whereas they are in fact due to a vertebral or lumbar discal affection. 84 patients with osteoporosis were treated by an intramuscular injection of deca-durabolin (25 mg/month) and calcium phosphate (tertiare). Results were satisfactory: six months later, 62 patients no longer suffered, 13 had felt improvement and 2 remained unchanged.
