    1. The document summarizes the pathophysiology of osteomalacia. A vitamin D deficiency leads to hypocalcemia, which causes parathyroid hormone levels to rise and increase plasma calcium and decrease plasma phosphate levels. This leads to increased bone resorption and decreased bone formation in an attempt to compensate for the lack of calcium and phosphate, resulting in osteomalacia. 2. It also briefly discusses two surgical treatments for osteoporosis: vertebroplasty to stabilize compression fractures in the spine by injecting bone cement, and kyphoplasty to stop pain from a spinal fracture, stabilize the bone, and restore lost vertebral body height from compression fractures.
