Answer:
With regard to bone decalcification secondary to hypocalcemia, what an endocrinologist and an orthopedist have in common is that they both focus on calcium levels.
Explanation:
Endocrinology and traumatology are two different medical specialties, however they can together treat a person with a metabolic disorder affecting the bones.
In the case of a person with thyroid problems, where probably the parathyroid glands are affected, there are low levels of calcium in the blood —hypocalcemia— which affects the bones secondarily by decalcification, both the endocrinologist and the traumatologist will coincide in the treatment of the serum calcium levels:
- Endocrinologist will treat the hormonal problem that produces low calcium in the blood.
- Orthopedist will indicate a calcium replacement treatment to improve the levels of the mineral in the blood, and restore the calcium lost by the bones.
The joint treatment of both specialists can guarantee the recovery of a patient with problems in the metabolism of calcium.
