Today, there is no known treatment or surgery for idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis. But it is very important to protect your bones from fracture. They may need to use crutches or other supports. And they may need to avoid types of exercise, such as contact sports, that put them at risk for fracture. None of the drugs that treat osteoporosis in adults are currently approved for use in children. All children, including those with juvenile osteoporosis, need a lifestyle that helps build healthy bones. This includes a diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein, and as much safe physical activity as possible. It s best to avoid caffeine. Many experts also suggest that children with juvenile osteoporosis have their bone density monitored at least every other year into adulthood. Rispridone can also be used.
